By the arrangements of the Canadian federation, the Canadian monarchy operates in Saskatchewan as the core of the province's Westminster-style parliamentary democracy.[1] As such, the Crown within Saskatchewan's jurisdiction is referred to as the Crown in right of Saskatchewan,[2] His Majesty in right of Saskatchewan,[3] or His Majesty the King in right of Saskatchewan.[4] The Constitution Act, 1867, however, leaves many royal duties in Saskatchewan specifically assigned to the sovereign's viceroy, the Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan,[1] whose direct participation in governance is limited by the conventional stipulations of constitutional monarchy.[5]
