Governments in Canada are elected by the people they
serve. Governments are not above the law. The law applies to both the
government and the people they serve. There are rules about how governments
operate, how they are chosen and how they make decisions.
Governments must obey the law. They create laws and change laws. There is a process that must be followed to pass or change a law.
Governments are chosen by the citizens of Canada in open elections. There are federal, provincial and municipal elections.
The government is involved in the day-to-day activities of people in many ways. Often, the government will create an agency to deal with certain activities. These agencies are created and funded by the government and there are rules they must follow.
In Saskatchewan, people are protected against discrimination on many grounds. These grounds include the person’s race, religion and gender identity. Discrimination means treating someone differently because of something about them.
