provincial and territorial governments

Provincial and territorial governments are regional authorities within a country that manage specific areas like education, health care, transportation, and natural resources. They have the power to create laws and policies tailored to their regions’ unique needs. Provinces are larger regions with their own governments, while territories typically have fewer delegated powers and rely more on federal support. Both operate independently from the federal government, allowing residents to have governance closer to their communities. This division ensures local issues are addressed effectively while maintaining national unity.
