Senate of Canada

The Senate of Canada is the upper chamber of the country’s Parliament, alongside the House of Commons. Its primary role is to review, amend, and approve legislation passed by the House of Commons. Senators are appointed by the Governor General on the advice of the Prime Minister and serve until age 75. The Senate provides regional representation and ensures that diverse perspectives are considered in national decision-making. While it can suggest changes and delay legislation, its powers are limited compared to the elected House of Commons, functioning mainly as a revising body to support thorough lawmaking.
