How a bill becomes a law

Hi Class,

Today we reviewed the worksheet on the House of Commons and reviewed some of the positions. You need to know what the following people do:

• The Speaker
• The Prime Minister
• The Cabinet
• Leader of the Opposition
• Governor General
• Pages
• Whips
• Sergeant-at-arms
• Black Rod

I've added a link to a video that shows what Black Rod does. It is a clip from Britain, but because our parliamentary system is based on theirs, the role and tradition is nearly identical.

Check the link from a couple of days back to review the online guide to the House of Commons.

HOMEWORK:

• Read the Guide to the House of Commons!!!
• Work on your How a Bill Becomes a Law Comic Strips (Due Oct 1)
