Good info! Looks like maybe it won't cause too much chaos. We'll just swear allegiance to King Charles III.
How does the Queen's death affect the Canadian government? Do new oaths to the new King have to be taken in Canada?
The succession of King Charles is instantaneous and automatic and does not require any special action by the Canadian government, Tidridge wrote.
Historically, the death of the monarch would have several effects on the operations of the Canadian government, according to
Canada's Deep Crown. Parliament would dissolve, while any legal proceedings involving the Crown would terminate. But legislation has changed all that.
For example, the 1985 Parliament of Canada Act provides that Parliament shall carry on "in the same manner as if that demise had not happened," according to
Canada's Deep Crown.
As well, the 1985 federal Interpretation Act provides that "the demise does not affect the holding of any office under the Crown in right of Canada" and that all legal proceedings involving the Crown continue "as though there had been no such demise," the book's authors wrote.
Federal parliamentarians in both the House of Commons and the Senate and members of provincial and territorial legislative assemblies do not need to take a new oath, Tidridge wrote.
Officers of the Crown, such as civil servants and judges, are not required in most cases to swear the oath of allegiance again or to be reappointed, but there are exceptions in some offices in the provinces of Ontario and Prince Edward Island, he wrote.
Future new citizens will have to swear allegiance to King Charles instead of the Queen during their citizenship ceremonies. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada did not immediately respond to questions about how quickly the oath would be changed following the Queen's death.
