Cabinet of Canada

The Cabinet of the Canadian Republic is the cabinet of the Prime Minister of Canada. The Cabinet consists of the ministers of the multiple executive departments and executive committee chairpersons who are directly responsible to the Prime Minister.

Cabinet members are officially appointed by the President of Canada on advice of the Prime Minister, meaning the Prime Minister chooses his cabinet, but its members are not official cabinet members until presidential confirmation. Nevertheless, it is practically unheard of for a president to veto a prime minister's chosen cabinet member, although presidents do have this power, and can also dismiss cabinet members, an entire cabinet, and/or even a prime minister via presidential executive order.
