The powers flowing from the <i>Constitution Act</i> are divided between the <a href="/wiki/Government_of_Canada" title="Government of Canada">Government of Canada</a> (the federal government) and the provincial governments to exercise exclusively. A change to the division of powers between the federal government and the provinces requires a <a href="/wiki/Amendments_to_the_Constitution_of_Canada" title="Amendments to the Constitution of Canada">constitutional amendment</a>, whereas a similar change affecting the territories can be performed unilaterally by the <a href="/wiki/Parliament_of_Canada" title="Parliament of Canada">Parliament of Canada</a> or government. </p><p>In modern <a href="/wiki/Canadian_federalism" title="Canadian federalism">Canadian constitutional theory</a>, the provinces are considered to be <a href="/wiki/Sovereignty" title="Sovereignty">co-sovereign</a> within certain areas based on the divisions of responsibility between the provincial and federal government within the <i>Constitution Act, 1867</i>, and each province thus has its own representative of the Canadian <a href="/wiki/Monarchy_in_the_Canadian_provinces" title="Monarchy in the Canadian provinces">Crown</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Lieutenant_Governor_(Canada)" title="Lieutenant Governor (Canada)">lieutenant governor</a>.
