House of Commons (Canada)

The House of Commons is one of the two chambers of Canada's Parliament, where elected representatives, known as Members of Parliament (MPs), gather to discuss and create laws. Each MP represents a specific geographic area, called a riding. The House of Commons plays a crucial role in shaping national legislation, representing citizens’ interests, and overseeing the government. Meetings are held in Ottawa, and the Prime Minister typically leads the government, which must have the support of the majority in the House. This institution is vital for democratic governance in Canada.
