How Governments Work

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. 

Rule of Law

The law applies to everyone. It applies to ordinary people going about their day-to-day lives. It also applies to the government and people who work for the government.

Responsibilities of Governments

There are three levels of government in Saskatchewan: Federal, Provincial, and Municipal. Each level has different responsibilities.

Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
