Canadians head to the polls to cast their ballots in the 2021 federal elec- tion Sept. 20. In advance of the vote, here's a primer on the dif- ferent levels of govern- ment and for what they are responsible. • There are three levels of government in Canada: municipal, provincial and federal. • Based in Ottawa, the federal government plays a huge role in Canadians' lives -- from the collec- tion of taxes to the deliv- ery of social services, and from the supervision of international trade to the safeguarding of national security. • The federal level of government deals with areas of law listed in the Constitution Act, 1867 and that generally affect the whole country. • Everything that isn't specifically named as the purview of the lower tier government is the re- sponsibility of the federal government. • Education funding, health care services and some environmental reg- ulations are dealt with at the provincial level. • Municipalities are re- sponsible for roads, gar- bage pickup, building codes and libraries, among other services. • The federal govern- ment manages a number of national portfolios -- responsibilities include mail, taxation, railways, pipelines, the census, criminal law, national de- fence, Aboriginal rights and foreign affairs. • A couple of big feder- al issues are the CO- VID-19 pandemic, afford- able housing and climate change.
