Elections in Canada are called by proclamation of the Governor General of Canada. The Governor General advises that Parliament be dissolved for elections to the House of Commons whenever (a) the 5-year length of a House of Commons has expired, or (b) when advised to do so by the Prime Minister of Canada.
The Prime Minister advises the Governor General to dissolve Parliament and call elections, generally, when (a) the Government has reasonably completed its mandate and wishes to seek a renewed mandate; (b) the Government wishes to propose a major measure that should be considered by the electorate; or (c) the Government has been lost the support of the elected Lower House and cannot otherwise continue to govern.
