By the arrangements of the Canadian federation, Canada's monarchy operates in Ontario as the core of the province's Westminster-style parliamentary democracy.[1] As such, the Crown within Ontario's jurisdiction may be referred to as the Crown in Right of Ontario,[2] His Majesty in Right of Ontario,[3] the King in Right of Ontario,[4] or His Majesty the King in Right of Ontario.[5] The Constitution Act, 1867, leaves many functions in Ontario specifically assigned to the sovereign's viceroy, the lieutenant governor of Ontario,[1] whose direct participation in governance is limited by the constitutional conventions of constitutional monarchy.[6]
