Executive Council of Ontario

(Redirected from Cabinet of Ontario)

The Executive Council of Ontario (informally and more commonly, the Cabinet of Ontario) is the cabinet of the Canadian province of Ontario.

Almost always made up of members of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario the cabinet is similar in structure and role to the Cabinet of Canada while being smaller in size. As federal and provincial responsibilities differ there are a number of different portfolios between the federal and provincial governments.

The Ontario cabinet is selected by the Premier of Ontario and sworn in by the Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario. Most cabinet ministers are the head of a ministry, but this is not always the case.

Like at the federal level, the most important cabinet post after that of the leader is Minister of Finance. Today the next most powerful position is certainly the health portfolio which has a vast budget and is of central political import. Other powerful porfolios include Education and Energy.

Current Cabinet

The current cabinet has been in place since soon after the 2003 Ontario election with the formation of a government by the Ontario Liberal Party.
