ABSTRACT

The purpose of this article is to analyze federalism in Canada as well as the constitutional capacities of the provinces and the central government of Canada in the public policy sphere. Canada has a decentralized federalism that has helped to maintain governance in the country by granting a wide range of constitutional powers to the provinces. Canada has moved from centralized to decentralized government. Canada's federalism can be considered a unique, successful case, which has generated stable governance among a diverse and plural society and can be an example for other countries with similar characteristics.
