Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the government wants to call an election, it typically requests that the Governor General (or Lieutenant Governor at the provincial level) dissolve Parliament. This ends the current session of Parliament and triggers a general election to be held to elect new Members of Parliament. Option A, proroguing Parliament, involves suspending Parliament for a period of time without dissolving it, while option C, adjourning Parliament, involves taking a break in the current session without dissolving it. Option D, terminating Parliament, is not a common or recognized motion in Canadian parliamentary procedure.
