Making laws
When the government proposes a new law to Parliament, it is called a bill.
MPs and senators have several opportunities to debate each new bill in the House of Commons and the Senate.
Then the MPs and senators vote on the bill.
To become law, a bill must be approved by majorities in both the House of Commons and the Senate.
Once a majority of MPs and senators have approved a bill, the Governor General gives final approval and the bill becomes law.

proposta de lei
Erklärung: Não conheço em pormenor o sistema político brasileiro, mas parece-me que um projecto de lei emana dos deputados e uma proposta de lei emana do Governo. Será verdade?
