Do laws have to be passed through the House of Lords and the House of Commons or just one?
Laws in the UK are made in the Houses of Parliament. A draft law, known as a Bill, can be introduced by any Member of Parliament, A Bill introduced by a Government Minister is known as a Government bill. A Bill introduced by another member is known as a Private Member's Bill. The first time that a Bill is announced (usually in the House of Commons) is called the First Reading and is usually a formality. The Bill then goes to its Second Reading, which usually happens two weeks later, where MPs get a chance to debate and discuss the general principles of the Bill. They will then vote to decide whether the Bill is one that Parliament should discuss further or simply reject. If the Bill moves to the next stage it goes to a committee, who examine the Bill in detail and suggest changes, which are called amendments. The committee reports back to the House to give all MPs the chance to suggest further amendments to the Bill. This is called the Report Stage. At the Third Reading MPs in the House of Commons debate whether or not to pass the Bill with the new amendments. At this stage the House of Commons cannot make any more amendments. Once the House of Commons has agreed on it, the Bill is passed to the House of Lords, in order to get a "second opinion". If the Lords agree with the House of Commons the Bill is passed to the Queen for "Royal Assent" and becomes a law. If they make amendments they send the Bill back to the Commons until both Houses agree. The Parliament Act 1911 and the Parliament Act 1949 have restricted the power of the House of Lords to reject bills passed by the House of Commons. If the House of Commons passes a public Bill in two successive sessions, and the House of Lords rejects it both times, the Commons may direct that the bill be presented to the Sovereign for his or her Assent, disregarding the rejection of the Bill in the House of Lords. It is only after the Queen has given her "Royal Assent" that the Bill finally becomes a fully-fledged law or Act of Parliament.

How is the Canadian legislature related to the Cabinet?
Members of the Cabinet (the active group of political decision-makers of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada) are responsible to the elected House of Commons. This means that the Cabinet needs the support of the Commons to govern. If the House of Commons votes down the throne speech, a question of money, or another key plank of the Government's agenda, it is the expectation that the prime minister (as head of the Cabinet) either (a) advises the Governor General to dissolve Parliament to hold a new general election, (b) resigns so that a new Government can be formed, or (c) proves right away that the Government has the support of the House of Commons.
