Every student should be interested in the Parliament of the M.C.V.I., for it is modelled after our own government and serves a definite purpose within the school. As in Ottawa, our Parliament is divided into two houses, the House of Commons and the Senate. Each of these meets seperately. The first, the House of Commons is mainly composed of class and club representa- tives, elected by the members of each class and club. In addition there is the Cabinet, and Her Majesty ' s Loyal Opposition, elected by the student body in October. A member of the staff, the Speaker, presides over the meeting. It is the duty of the cabinet to present parliamentary business, such as the appointment of committees and the granting of funds, to the representatives for debate. Its members are also responsible for seeing that committees appointed by Parliament perform theirduties and report back to the House. For Parliament to be effective, the representatives must take part in debate, and nominate responsible students to com- mittees. The Senate consists of students from grades 11-13, appointed by application. The Deputy Speaker, also a staff member, presides. This House debates the same legislature as the House of Commons. A student benefits by participating in student government. By taking an active part in our model parliament he can both see how the Canadian system of government operates, and organize school affairs. Lastly, through impromptu debate and prepared speeches he can practice and improve his own ability to speak in public.
