define a constitutional monarchy and determine how the powers of the monarch are exercised in canada .

-the PM as the appointor of members sitting in these steuctures , find instances where the PM's in history have abused power ......
try and find any significant checks and balances the PM has enountered ,the cooms ,directly by the public,media,provincal premiers
