By the arrangements of the
Canadian federation,
Canada's monarchy operates in
Ontario as the core of the province's
Westminster-style parliamentary democracy. As such,
the Crown within Ontario's jurisdiction is referred to as
the Crown in Right of Ontario,
Majesty in Right of Ontario,
the in Right of Ontario, or
Majesty the in Right of Ontario. The
Constitution Act, 1867, however, leaves many royal duties in Ontario specifically assigned to the sovereign's viceroy, the
Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, whose direct participation in governance is limited by the conventional stipulations of
constitutional monarchy.
