Canada's system of government is divided into three distinct
branches: the judiciary, the legislature and the executive. The
legislature (Parliament) has the power to make, alter and repeal
laws. The executive branch is responsible for administering and
enforcing the laws. The judiciary resolves disputes by applying and
interpreting the law. Robert Staley and Jonathan Bell authored the

The Dispute Resolution Review - 9th Edition.
