Monarchy in Newfoundland and Labrador
Function of the Canadian monarchy in Newfoundland and Labrador / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
By the arrangements of the Canadian federation, the Canadian monarchy operates in Newfoundland and Labrador as the core of the province's Westminster-style parliamentary democracy.[1] As such, the Crown within Newfoundland and Labrador's jurisdiction is referred to as the Crown in Right of Newfoundland and Labrador,[2] His Majesty in Right of Newfoundland and Labrador,[3] or the King in Right of Newfoundland and Labrador.[4] The Constitution Act, 1867, however, leaves many royal duties in the province specifically assigned to the sovereign's viceroy, the lieutenant governor of Newfoundland and Labrador,[1] whose direct participation in governance is limited by the conventional stipulations of constitutional monarchy.[5]
