Monarchy in New Brunswick
By the arrangements of the Canadian federation, Canada's monarchy operates in New Brunswick as the core of the province's Westminster-style parliamentary democracy. As such, the Crown within New Brunswick's jurisdiction is referred to as the Crown in Right of New Brunswick (French: couronne du chef du Nouveau-Brunswick), His Majesty in Right of New Brunswick (French: Sa Majesté du chef du Nouveau-Brunswick), or the King in Right of New Brunswick (French: le roi du chef du Nouveau-Brunswick). The Constitution Act, 1867, however, leaves many royal duties in the province specifically assigned to the sovereign's viceroy, the lieutenant governor of New Brunswick, whose direct participation in governance is limited by the conventional stipulations of constitutional monarchy.
