  Cabinet of Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A council of ministers chaired by the Prime Minister, the Cabinet is the senior echelon of the Ministry.
Deputy Ministers are neither MPs nor Cabinet Ministers but are the senior civil servant in a governmental department and assist the Minister both by giving non-partisan advice and by assisting in the administration of the department.
Cabinets are generally appointed from amongst the governing party's pool of MPs; should a prime minister appoint a cabinet minister from outside Parliament, it is expected that the individual acquire a seat within a reasonable time or resign.
