122 THE DOMINION PARLIAMENT. above summed up the position as follows: —“I quite admit that when a Council is backed by a majority of the House a Governor is bound in ordinary cases to follow their advice and that it is chiefly by his influence and persuasion that he must endeavour to direct their conduct, but the premier would place a Governor in the same position as the Queen, and the Council in the position of the Cabinet at home, forgetting entirely that the Governor is himself responsible to the home government and that it is no excuse for him to say in answer to any charge against his administration of affairs, I did so by the advice of my Council.” The Parliament is also dissolved by lapse of time, as the British North America Act, s. 50, provides that, subject to the above-mentioned power of dissolution by the Governor- General, every House of Commons shall continue for five years from the day of the return of the writs for choosing the House. Demise of ~~ The Canadian Parliament is not affected by the demise hoOrown: of the Crown, an Act to that effect® having been passed in the first session of the Parliament of the Dominion. Lapse of bime. « Todd, p. 537. 2 R.8.C.e. 11,8. 1,
