Cabinet (government) Canadian Cabinet
The Cabinet in Canada is of the British type. It is formed, on the request of the governor-general, by a prime minister who is a member of the House of Commons and usually the leader of the strongest party in the house. Normally, a Cabinet is formed as the result of a general election, but if a Cabinet resigns, the governor-general may ask the opposition leader in the House of Commons to form a government from the opposition.The prime minister chooses Cabinet ministers from members of the Canadian Parliament, largely from the House of Commons. Most ministers serve as heads of the executive departments of the federal government. Provincial cabinets are similarly formed and organized. (1)
