A Canadian Parliament simulation for the classroom
Adopt the Standing Orders. Introduce a Bill. Call the Division.
A guided simulation of the Canadian House of Commons. Members of Parliament introduce Bills, move them through First Reading to Royal Assent, and vote in Divisions presided over by the Speaker of the House.
Convene the House
Teachers open a House of Commons and invite MPs with a code.
Adopt Standing Orders
A short constitution sets the rules of order before the House convenes.
Introduce Bills
MPs table Bills that move through the six-stage Canadian legislative process.
Divide the House
Speakers call Divisions; MPs vote Yea, Nay, or Abstain. Bills receive Royal Assent.
