  Cabinet of Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
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.

 MSN Encarta - Cabinet (government)
The principal characteristics of European cabinets are the responsibility of the cabinet to the legislature, and the identification of the cabinet with the government.
Members of the Cabinet of the British government constitute the supreme executive authority of the government, and are the sole advisers to the crown.
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.

 Executive Council - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
It is superior to Legislative Councils and Legislative Assemblies and functions as a quasi-Privy Council and therefore by extension is usually the equivalent of the Cabinet.
Consistent with wider Commonwealth practice, Canadian provinces have Executive Councils which are usually referred to informally as Cabinets and are headed by a provincial Premier.
There is, however a Canadian Cabinet at the level of the federal government and not an executive council.

 Canadian Cabinet minister meets with Ukrainians on redress issue (04/13/97)
TORONTO - Thanks to the pressures of an election year, and to the occasion of a joint Ukrainian Canadian Congress (UCC) and Canadian Jewish Congress-sponsored roundtable on Canadian unity, a senior Canadian Cabinet minister finally met with the community's representatives to discuss the matter of redress for the internment of Ukrainian Canadians in 1914-1921.
Despite promises to resolve the matter by both the previous federal Progressive Conservative (1984-1993) and current Liberal governments, in the eyes of Ukrainian Canadian community leaders neither has dealt appropriately with the fact that hundreds of citizens were interned in camps as enemy aliens and that in many cases their assets were confiscated.
Boyko told The Weekly on March 24 that the Ukrainian Canadian community is not seeking to "correct history," but to "prompt the government to do what is right" in returning monies taken from Canadian citizens earlier in the century and applying them to the needs of present-day citizens.

Subsequently a Canadian Company, Spartan Air Services, were selected for this survey on the basis of this preliminary estimate although, pending negotiations on the revision of the costs and approval by Cabinet, no contract has yet actually been concluded with Spartan.

 12/15/99 -- Canadian Cabinet okays plan to fight global warming
Ottawa-- The fight against global warming is the most profound economic challenge facing the country since the Second World War, says a secret cabinet document that outlines a $1.6-billion, five-year plan to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases Canadians pump into the atmosphere.
The scale of change to the Canadian economy will be far greater than the oil shocks of the 1970s or free trade, it says, but it also notes that dealing with global warming will create economic opportunities if the government acts now.
In addition to the cabinet infighting, there's a concern the tripartite alliance between government, industry and environmentalists -- who are working together on a series of reports on the country's options for meeting its Kyoto commitments -- might crumble if Ottawa doesn't take a stronger stand on the issue.

Indeed, though Canadians are quite properly pleased to be able to claim victory against the USA in the War of 1812, no one doubts that the presence of professional imperial forces was significant in the outcome.

In Canada, a Deputy Minister is the senior civil servant in a government department and assists the Minister of the department who is a member of the Canadian Cabinet.
This should not be confused with the position of Deputy Prime Minister of Canada who is not a deputy minister at all but a politician and senior member of the Cabinet.
The position of Deputy Minister is equivalent to the British position of Permanent Secretary made famous in the television satire, Yes, Minister.

 Log Cabin Chronicles Peter Black's Canadian Cabinet 2004 column
Jennings's assignment is to be Martin's eyes and ears on Canada-U.S. relations, although what that demands of a solitary MP is unclear, particularly since there is a special cabinet committee on Canada-U.S. relations that Martin chairs and to which Jennings is not invited.
For those who bemoan the lack of a warm body at the table for MPs from outside Montreal, there is always comfort in the fact the prime minister has named his Quebec lieutenant and Transport Minister Jean Lapierre, who hails from the Magdalen Islands, as the minister responsible for the Quebec City region.
By putting nearly half the survivors in cabinet, he is clearly hoping he has given the province the kind of clout it takes to get back some of those lost seats come the next election.

He resigned his Cabinet post to become lieutenant-governor of Nova Scotia in 1873, but he would serve only a few weeks before his death.

 Globeinvestor.com: Cabinet gives green light to satellite radio
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Reuters) - The Canadian cabinet has upheld a decision by the federal broadcast regulator to grant two licenses for the launch of satellite radio services in Canada, a source familiar with the matter said on Friday.
But while waiting for the cabinet to make a decision, a fierce debate erupted among musicians and in the media about how much Canadian content the services should carry.
At least 85 percent of the music and programing on those channels must be Canadian and at least 25 percent of the Canadian channels must be French-language.
