This CD-Rom is the first of its kind in Canada. It provides its users with
a virtual visit of Parliament, Canada's most important institution of government. People from all over the world come to Ottawa each year to see the grandeur of Canada's Parliament. Now you can too by taking this special virtual tour. I know you will enjoy this unique learning experience as you walk through the corridors, gaze at the magnificent ceilings and marble floors, enter the House of Commons and the Senate, and visit the Library of Parliament. You will also learn about how Parliament works, how bills become law, and what important ceremonies Canadians use to open and close their Parliament.
Whether you visit the Parliament buildings in person, watch proceedings of the House of Commons on Television, or just have an interest in our system of government, this special tour of Parliament via CD- ROM will give you a better understanding of how Canada is governed and encourage you to participate in the ways our laws are made.
As our national legislature, Parliament embodies Canada's history and its future. As you will see, our Parliament, its art and architecture reflect our past, but its decisions chart our future.
