Does Canada have a house of representatives?
No. The lower house in Canada is called the House of Commons. It is similar to the House of Representatives in that representatives come from fixed geographical areas defined by legislation, and they are elected as representatives of political parties. Unlike the House of Representatives, however, members of the House of Commons are not elected for fixed terms on set dates, and they on average serve longer terms in office than members of the House of Representatives (between 3 and 5 years). Attempts have recently been made to set fixed four-year terms for members of the House of Commons.
