Many articles talk about 'Ministerial decrees'. These are not popular in Anglo-saxon states, but are in other states. In the UK a law imposed by the Ministry is called a Ministrial Order, but I'm not sure whether this is the general term for this kind of decrees. Perhaps someone else could elaborate on this.

This comment is an adaption from this recent comment from Ministerial order, which was recently merged with this article...
Ministerial orders are not unique to Belgium and the UK. Canada also has them, and presumably countless other nations. This article should be expanded to be inclusive of usage across the world. I've created a placeholder section for Canada in the meantime. Cheers, Hwy43 (talk) 07:44, 19 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your interest. I totally agree with you. There seems not much difference. Probably the difference is mere administrative and pertaining to local traditions. For one, how the right to impose law is delegated to the ministry; Whether the chamber(s) should still vote upon; etc. But in general, it means the same anywhere in the world, indeed.

The "Expand template" is not to be used as a placeholder. Won't remove it now, assuming you'll fill that section out soon. Timelezz (talk) 07:51, 19 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't mind if it is removed until such time as Canadian content is actually added. I came across the ministerial order article when I wikilinked the term at a Canadian article, whereby I noticed it being focused on Belgium. This motivated my recent comment on its talk page. With the merge, I just wanted to make the same comment here with hope someone will take the charge before I eventually swing back. Completing such a section isn't on my priority list for WP at the moment (other editing areas of interest prevail). Hwy43 (talk) 08:03, 19 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
