is the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is typically the leader of the political party that has the most seats in the House of Commons, the lower house of the Canadian Parliament.

The Prime Minister is responsible for leading the country's executive branch, appointing cabinet ministers, and making appointments to various government bodies. The Prime Minister also has a significant role in shaping and implementing government policies.
