Question

The national government of Canada oversees ten provinces and three territories. The national government is made up an executive, legislative, and judicial branches which govern concerns for the entire nations. However, the provinces and territories have their own governments which are allowed to take care of issues that are not the responsibilities of the national government. Which of these statements would lead you to describe Canada's government as a federal government? A) The national government still supports a constitutional monarchy. B) The national government is divided into three branches of government. C) States are able to veto any bill proposed by the national government. D) The provincial governments are allowed to handle issues that the national government does not.

Answer 1

D) The provincial governments are allowed to handle issues that the national government does not.

Answer 2

The fourth alternative is correct (D).

The Central Government of Canada is responsible for issues that concern all Canadian, national issues. However, each territory has specifics. These specificities are met through local authorities, who know the needs of the people of that region. That is, provincial governments deal with specific issues whose national government does not have access or knowledge.
