Constitutional monarchy in New Brunswick

Under the Canadian constitutional monarchy system the headship of state is not a part of either the federal or provincial jurisdictions; the Queen reigns impartially over the country as a whole, meaning the sovereignty of the provinces is passed on not by the Governor General or the Canadian Parliament, but through the Crown itself. Thus, New Brunswick has a separate government headed by the Queen; in legal nomenclature she is referred to as the Queen in Right of New Brunswick, to differentiate from the Queen in Right of Canada, though they are the same person. New Brunswick, however, as a province, is not itself a monarchy; it is under the sovereignty of the Canadian Crown. Queen Elizabeth II, is the Head of State of 16 countries including: the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Jamaica, New Zealand and the Bahamas, as well as crown colonies and overseas territories of the United Kingdom. ...

The Parliament of Canada (French: Parlement du Canada) is Canadas legislative branch, seated at Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Ontario. ...
