How does an amendment proposed to the Canadian constitution become a law?
There are two amendment formulas is the Canadian constitution. Most of the constitution can be amended with the general amendment formula. However, amendments to some parts of the constitution require the special amendment formula. The general amendment formula requires assent by the Senate, the House of Commons, and the legislatures of two thirds of the provinces, together representing at least half of the Canadian population. The special amendment formula requires assent by the Senate, the House of Commons, and unanimous assent by all provincial legislatures. If the Senate does not assent to the amendment, it can still be proclaimed as law if 180 days after first passing a resolution of assent to the amendment, the House of Commons again passes a resolution of assent. Changes to the powers of a provincial government or legislature cannot pass if the legislature of the province in question dissents to the amendment without later assenting to it. The Canadian Parliament and the provinces can unilaterally change their own constitutions except for some matters which are reserved for either the general amendment formula or the unanimous amendment formula.
What percentage of the Canadian population must approve a constitutional amendment?
Canadian constitutional amendments are not, in general, put to a referendum.For a few types of constitutional amendments that relate only to the administration of the Parliament of Canada (for example, a constitutional amendment to revoke a certain type of parliamentary privilege), the Parliament of Canada can enact the change without any provincial involvement. (The Senate has an absolute veto over any such constitutional amendments.)For most types of constitutional amendments, the Senate and Commons pass the amendment, and seven out of ten provincial legislatures (for provinces that represent at least 50% of the population of the provinces at the time) must pass resolutions that agree to the amendment. (The Senate can only block such a constitutional amendment for up to one hundred eighty days, should the Commons and provincial legislatures agree.)For some types of constitutional amendments that make changes to key institutions (for example, changes to the Queen, the Governor General, or the Lieutenant Governors), the amendment must not only be passed by the Senate and Commons, but all ten of the provincial legislatures. The refusal of the amendment by any one of the provinces would defeat the constitutional amendment. (The Senate can only block such an amendment, as above, for one hundred eighty days.)
