building is in fact all about people. This wonderfully well written article tells how "the Centre Block houses offices and facilities, including the prime minister's office, that of the leader of Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition, and the offices of other party leaders, as well as senators, ministers, and commons staff. Further, there are numerous parliamentary committee rooms and the Parliamentary Press Gallery." The building is "the route of the parades for both speakers of parliament, as well as where the lying in state segment of some state funerals takes place." It also houses "seats for 320 members of parliament and 580 persons in the upper gallery that runs around the second level of the room". Finally, "Prince Albert Edward, Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII) arrived in Ottawa...and laid the cornerstone of the growing Centre Block, with a luncheon on the grounds for the workers and their families". These are all people, and this building is about people.

Perhaps there needs to be better explanation somewhere about what the term "Crown in Right of Canada" means, but changing terms to those that are more loosely defined and not really accurate doesn't seem to be the best answer. Do you agree? -- 635:
The nation's capital building and the lawn in front it serves peaceful protests, mass yoga sessions and numerous parties. For the love off the politeness in Canada please take the drama down a notch. There is something rather iconic of the shot but I won't cry if it doesn't make it into the article.

rightly states, "the word government is used to refer both to the whole set of institutions that govern the country, as well as the current political leadership."

Of the 17 images currently on this article about one of Canada's Parliament Buildings, not one image shows any people. How on earth can an article depicting a legislative building not show any people?

While I agree that the correct "owner" is the Crown, I think it is inaccurate to describe the "client" as the "crown." It would be more accurate to describe the "client" as the Parliament of Canada.
