Metropolitan Council (Ottawa)

The Metropolitan Council (French: Conseil métropolitain) is the highest executive body of the metropolitan (municipal) government of Ottawa, the capital and fourth-most populous city of Canada, which comprises 16 boroughs. The Metropolitan Council is chaired by the popularly elected Mayor of Ottawa, and is the governing body of the Capital District Metropolitan Municipal Corporation. As the capital and its eleven boroughs comprise a jurisdiction distinct from the 13 provinces and five territories of the Canadian Republic, the capital exists via its own statute passed by the Parliament of Canada, and as such the Metropolitan Council is a devolved government from the Government of Canada, similar to the governments of the five territories.
