The legal pretext for this interpretation is the preamble to the 1931 Statute of Westminster, which states that the United Kingdom will obtain the assent of the Dominions when altering succession to, and royal titles and styles of, their shared Crown. However, the Queen is the only member of the royal family with any constitutional role. [308] Further, though neither was ever used for their intended purpose, Hatley Castle in British Columbia was purchased in 1940 by King George VI in Right of Canada to use as his home during the course of World War II,[309] and the Emergency Government Headquarters, built in 1959 at CFS Carp and decommissioned in 1994, included a residential apartment for the sovereign or governor general in the case of a nuclear attack on Ottawa. The Queen of Canada will revert to being the British queen acting for Canada, rather than a formally separate and distinct office. While the power for these acts stems from the Canadian people through the constitutional conventions of democracy,[29] executive authority remains vested in the Crown and is only entrusted by the sovereign to the government on behalf of the people.

As such, the king or queen of Canada is the employer of all government officials and staff (including the viceroys, judges, members of the Canadian Forces, police officers, and parliamentarians),[n 13] the guardian of foster children (Crown wards), as well as the owner of all state lands (Crown land), buildings and equipment (Crown held property),[138] state owned companies (Crown corporations), and the copyright for all government publications (Crown copyright). The emergence of this arrangement paralleled the fruition of Canadian nationalism following the end of the First World War and culminated in the passage of the Statute of Westminster in 1931.

Further, the official opposition is traditionally dubbed as Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition,[141][206][207] illustrating that, while its members are opposed to the incumbent government, they remain loyal to the sovereign (as personification of the state and its authority). In the Alberta Indians case, Lord Justice May of the English Court of Appeal found: “In matters of law and government the Queen of the United Kingdom is entirely independent and distinct from the Queen of Canada.” Even before the British Parliament legislated Canadian independence, a distinct Queen had made Canada a separate state. Recognizing that the Crown is a corporation sole also helps us answer the question that hovers over this entire discussion, namely: how can the Canadian and British Crown be distinct if they’re both personified by Elizabeth II?

Elizabeth II’s surpassing of Victoria as the longest-reigning monarch, therefore, coincides with a hollowing out of the Canadian title she was given at her coronation. There have been further constitutional changes in some of the Commonwealth realms during The Queen's reign.

However, the royal prerogative belongs to the Crown and not to any of the ministers[30][176][193] and the royal and viceroyal figures may unilaterally use these powers in exceptional constitutional crisis situations (an exercise of the reserve powers),[n 15] thereby allowing the monarch to make sure "that the government conducts itself in compliance with the constitution. The United Kingdom is no longer able to legislate for Canada, Australia or New Zealand, even in matters of succession and even if they assent. “There is no doubt,” Morgan found, “that Her Majesty the Queen is Queen of Canada, the embodiment of the Crown in Canada, and the head of state.” The ruling thus solidified Elizabeth II’s status as the Queen of Canada. Her Majesty was the first of Canada's sovereigns to be proclaimed separately Queen of Canada. In 1999 Nunavut became the largest and newest territory in Canada. In making this argument, the government has overlooked the very nature of the Crown in law and the Canadian constitution.

Current royal patronage of animal welfare organizations (see also Animal Issues) reflects the Queen’s love of dogs, horseback riding and horse racing.

In dismissing a challenge to the law on the basis that a change to the succession in Canada would require unanimous consent of all provinces under section 41(a) of the Constitution Act, 1982, Quebec Superior Court Justice Claude Bouchard ruled that Canada "did not have to change its laws nor its Constitution for the British royal succession rules to be amended and effective" and constitutional convention committed Canada to having a lines of succession symmetrical to those of other Commonwealth realms.

[t]he office cannot exist without the office-holder",[n 12][59] so, even in private, the monarch is always "on duty". On November 20, 1947, Princess Elizabeth married Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten, now His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh. Further, the official opposition is traditionally dubbed as Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition,[141][206][207] illustrating that, while its members are opposed to the incumbent government, they remain loyal to the sovereign (as personification of the state and its authority). In the Alberta Indians case, Lord Justice May of the English Court of Appeal found: “In matters of law and government the Queen of the United Kingdom is entirely independent and distinct from the Queen of Canada.” Even before the British Parliament legislated Canadian independence, a distinct Queen had made Canada a separate state. Recognizing that the Crown is a corporation sole also helps us answer the question that hovers over this entire discussion, namely: how can the Canadian and British Crown be distinct if they’re both personified by Elizabeth II?

Elizabeth II’s surpassing of Victoria as the longest-reigning monarch, therefore, coincides with a hollowing out of the Canadian title she was given at her coronation. There have been further constitutional changes in some of the Commonwealth realms during The Queen's reign.

However, the royal prerogative belongs to the Crown and not to any of the ministers[30][176][193] and the royal and viceroyal figures may unilaterally use these powers in exceptional constitutional crisis situations (an exercise of the reserve powers),[n 15] thereby allowing the monarch to make sure "that the government conducts itself in compliance with the constitution. The United Kingdom is no longer able to legislate for Canada, Australia or New Zealand, even in matters of succession and even if they assent. “There is no doubt,” Morgan found, “that Her Majesty the Queen is Queen of Canada, the embodiment of the Crown in Canada, and the head of state.” The ruling thus solidified Elizabeth II’s status as the Queen of Canada. Her Majesty was the first of Canada's sovereigns to be proclaimed separately Queen of Canada. In 1999 Nunavut became the largest and newest territory in Canada. In making this argument, the government has overlooked the very nature of the Crown in law and the Canadian constitution.

Current royal patronage of animal welfare organizations (see also Animal Issues) reflects the Queen’s love of dogs, horseback riding and horse racing. They cite Ottawa, s insistence that Canadian law be amended during the abdication of Edward VIII in 1936 as the key precedent behind this interpretation. However, the natural person who occupies these offices, Elizabeth Windsor, is the same. [352] It was argued by Alfred Neitsch that this undermined the Crown's legitimacy as a check and balance in the governmental system,[353] a situation Helen Forsey (daughter of Canadian constitutional expert Eugene Forsey) said prime ministers take advantage of, portraying themselves as the embodiment of popular democracy and the reserve powers of the Crown as illegitimate. Operating in their own jurisdictions, they personally represent The Queen and perform most of the functions assigned to her as Canada’s head of state. [n 26] Each of these royal seats holds pieces from the Crown Collection.

In dismissing a challenge to the law on the basis that a change to the succession in Canada would require unanimous consent of all provinces under section 41(a) of the Constitution Act, 1982, Quebec Superior Court Justice Claude Bouchard ruled that Canada "did not have to change its laws nor its Constitution for the British royal succession rules to be amended and effective" and constitutional convention committed Canada to having a lines of succession symmetrical to those of other Commonwealth realms. The Queen is also Captain General of the Royal Canadian Artillery. The professors argue that any change to the rules of succession for Canada requires an alteration of Canadian law, not simply an acceptance of changes to British law.
