IN JANUARY 1979 I WROTE AN ARTICLE IN THE PARLIAMENTARIAN ON "THE ROLE OF THE CROWN IN CANADA SINCE CONFEDERATION". IT DEALT MAINLY WITH THE ROLE OF THE MONARCH'S REPRESENTATIVES, THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF CANADA, AND THE LIEUTENANT-GOVERNORS OF THE PROVINCES, WHO IN FACT EXERCISE ALMOST ALL OF THE MONARCH'S POWERS. THIS ARTICLE IS CONCERNED RATHER WITH THE ROLE AND POSITION OF THE MONARCH HERSELF.

THE CANADIAN SENATE HAS 104 MEMBERS, APPOINTED BY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL ON THE ADVICE OF THE PRIME MINISTER. NEWFOUNDLAND HAS SIX SENATORS, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND FOUR, NOVA SCOTIA AND NEW BRUNSWICK TEN EACH, QUEBEC AND ONTARIO 24 EACH, MANITOBA, SASKATCHEWAN, ALBERTA, AND BRITISH COLUMBIA SIX EACH, THE YUKON TERRITORY AND THE NORTHWEST TERRITORIES ONE EACH.
