We visited Ottawa the capital city of Canada on 22Jun2012. We visited this place on first day of our 3 day trip. Our next destination was Quebec City. We couldn't cover much on that day with kids but visited two must see places. The first one we visited was Parliament Hill in Ottawa and the other one was Royal Canadian Mint. I will be sharing few pictures from Royal Canadian Mint soon. Stay tuned.
The Parliament of Canada is the federal legislative branch of Canada, seated at Parliament Hill in the national capital, Ottawa.
The Parliament of Canada is composed of three parts: the monarch, the Senate, and the House of Commons. Each has a distinct role, but work in conjunction within the legislative process. This format was inherited from the United Kingdom.
