Intergovernmental relations describes how Canada's three levels of government work together on shared issues and responsibilities. Federal, provincial, and municipal governments must coordinate on matters like infrastructure funding, emergency response, immigration, and environmental protection. In Canada's constitutional framework, municipalities are created by provincial legislation, while the federal government provides funding and sets national policies. Organizations like the Federation of Canadian Municipalities advocate for municipal interests at higher government levels. Effective intergovernmental relations help avoid duplication, resolve conflicts, and deliver services efficiently to Canadians.
