Canada has a constitutional monarchy. That means that while Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is our Head of State she is mainly a figurehead. She is represented by the Governor General in her absence. The Governor General has the power to say no to requests from the government, but usually the requests are accepted. Not that long ago there was an instance where some government members wanted to have a general vote only a couple years afterwards because they were going to lose on a vote and the Governor General said no, because they were abusing theyir power and a vote so soon was not needed and would be a waste of time, money, and energy.
