	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.
		Unlike the United States Cabinet, the size and structure of the Canadian cabinet is relatively malleable, with the number of ministers and their titles generally selected by the Prime Minister within a relatively broad legislative framework.
		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.

	Campbell Cabinet Shuffled
		A cabinet shuffle in an atmosphere of crisis, two weeks prior to the legislature opening with the Speech from the Throne, is bad news for Premier Campbell.
		Cabinet shuffles create tensions within the government caucus; those who get dumped from cabinet are unhappy but they are outnumbered by angry backbenchers who fail to get the nod to move into a Minister's office.
		In the first shuffle since taking office, Campbell moved 11, fired 6 from cabinet and promoted 6 from the backbench leaving 40 to linger on the backbench and muse as to why they were ignored.

	Lebanonwire.com \| Cabinet shuffle follows tension at the top
		The Cabinet reshuffle has followed a familiar political pattern in Lebanon, with the change coming as a result of tension between top Lebanese leaders reaching an unacceptable level for Damascus.
		Lately, the speaker did not hide his intentions to hold the outgoing government accountable for what he considers an evident lack of performance, having promised in particular to hold a series of sessions in Parliament to question the government.
		Political players, and behind them Damascus, may have judged the time inappropriate for bringing Hizbullah members into the Cabinet for the first time, taking into account the tense regional situation and the harsh opposition that part of the international community has to the party.

		This week's narrow Cabinet approval of the potential release of Palestinian security prisoners proved Sharon is in the minority among his party's Cabinet ministers as well.
		Critics on the right pointed to the mere fact that Israel is being asked to "fuel" continued Palestinian collaboration in the road map process by the release of convicted terrorists as proof that Israel had not defeated the Palestinians, and at best achieved a stalemate.
		Emerging as Sharon's main coalition bulwark in support of the prisoner release, Shinui also launched a groundbreaking effort to improve Abu Mazen's stature in the eyes of Israeli public opinion, inviting the Palestinian leader and his ministers to come to the Knesset next week to plead their case for expanded prisoner release.
