	Shadow Cabinet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is the Shadow Cabinet's responsibility to pass criticism on the current government and its respective legislation, as well as deciding where amendments to the legislation are necessary.
		In the United Kingdom and Canada the major opposition party and specifically its shadow cabinet is often called Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition.
		Some parliamentary parties, notably the British Labour Party and the Australian Labor Party, elect all the members of their shadow cabinets in a partyroom ballot, with the Leader of the Opposition then allocating portfolios to the Shadow Ministers.

		Canada is a constitutional monarchy and a Commonwealth Realm (see Monarchy in Canada) with a federal system of parliamentary government, and strong democratic traditions.
		Canada's Parliament consists of the monarch and a bicameral legislature: an elected House of Commons and an appointed Senate.
		Minority government situations in Canada may become somewhat difficult to manage though, as in the past there were only three parties that had a significant number of seats in parliament (fourth parties were at times represented in small numbers), although the third party has changed over time.

	Shadowing Bush
		As issues arise, the appropriate cabinet member is the point-man for the opposition, presenting to the press what would have happened if the shadow cabinet were handling the situation, and in the process critiquing the actual cabinet member.
		Also, there is the presumption that if the cabinet member is doing his or her job competently then the shadow cabinet has a chance of becoming the cabinet-elect after the next election, and will then have the power to fully effect the changes they had promised as shadows.
		The shadow cabinet, which would be administered by the Democratic Party itself, is in many ways the opposite of MoveOn.org's loose structure: it is a hierarchy with one person at the top and a single person deciding policy for each field of issues.

		Canada's first prime minister was John A. Macdonald (served 1867-73 and 1878-91), who sponsored the Canadian Pacific Railway.

		Throughout the summer and into the fall of 2003, talks were undertaken by officials of the Progressive Conservative Party and the Canadian Alliance party with respect to a merger of those parties.
		Stronach was immediately appointed to the cabinet position of Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development, and given the portfolio of Minister responsible for Democratic Renewal, charged with overseeing the implementation of the Gomery Inquiry recommendations, upon their release.
		In a press conference after leaving the party, she said that Harper was not sensitive to the needs of all parts of the country, and was jeopardizing national unity by allying himself with the Bloc Québécois to bring down the government.

	Sam Goldstein, Conservative Party of Canada (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The Conservative Party of Canada (French: Parti conservateur du Canada) is a right-of-centre political party in Canada, formed by the merger of the Canadian Alliance and the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada in December 2003.
		The party most recently formed the Official Opposition in the House of Commons until Parliament was dissolved on November 29, 2005.
		The party is still referred to as "Tory" by the media and retains the tie to the historical Conservative Party of Canada founded in 1854 by Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier by virtue of the fact that the merged entity assumed all assets and liabilities of the Progressive Conservative Party.

	Matthew Yglesias: Shadow Government
		Shadow Governments will probably tend to make unrealistic proposals or tend to not worry about how their proposals would be budgeted, but even so, they would be an improvement on the current system, since they would present a clear alternative.
		With a parliament the cabinet are all elected officials.
		In the Canadian system, it is taken quite seriously; the main responsibility of each shadow cabinet minister in the opposition parties is to become that party's expert on that government department, to research the governing cabinet minister's department in detail, and to lead questioning of that minister in the House.

	Mapleleafweb.com: Democracy Workings - What is the shadow cabinet?
		The shadow cabinet is the term used to denote a specific group of critics in each opposition party, especially for those in the Official Opposition party.
		Traditionally the shadow cabinet of the Official Opposition was viewed as a body likely to form the actual cabinet should the party win power.
		Each member of the shadow cabinet is the critic of a specific government department or portfolio, thus holding the government to account on matters concerned with that area.

	Barry Devolin ::: Member of Parliament for Haliburton - Kawartha Lakes - Brock
		And it’s for this reason that the Official Opposition’s shadow cabinet is sometimes referred to as a “government in waiting”.
		As a group, the shadow cabinet establishes the strategic direction for their party, and they decide on a week-to-week basis what their party’s caucus will do in Parliament.
		When an issue arises, this shadow cabinet member is the point-person for the opposition, critiquing the Minister’s decisions and telling Canadians what would have happened if the Opposition were in government.

		Cabinet secretaries have to be presentable in public, of course, and act as public advocates for the Administration’s policy.
		Cabinet officials in the US have to be confirmed by the “advice and consent” of the Senate.
		While its rejection of a cabinet official is rare, the assertion before the election by a candidate that they had their list of people who would be cabinet officials would not only be presumptuous, but might actually add further politics to the confirmation process.

		Canada sold 437 tonnes of gold from 1986 through 1993, reducing its gold reserves from 625 tonnes at the end of 1985 to less than 190 tonnes at the beginning of 1994, when it disposed of another 67 tonnes.
		Its principal purpose is "to aid in the control and protection of the external value of the monetary unit of Canada." Analogous to the Exchange Equalisation Account in Britain and the Exchange Stabilization Fund in the United States, Canada's Exchange Fund operates with considerable secrecy and is exempt from the Financial Administration Act.
		At the end of 1995, Canada's gold reserves were down to a mere 106 tonnes, making the Bank of Canada an all but impotent player in the scheme to suppress gold prices organized by the central banks circa 1995 and challenged in the Gold Price Fixing Case.

		One of the highest-profile new additions to the shadow cabinet is former Magna CEO Belinda Stronach.
		That means, for now, Harper is content with his status as Leader of the Official Opposition, and holding out for the slim chance Martin's Liberals lose the confidence of the House.

		The third honour I had was when the Reform leader asked me to be the chief agricultural critic in the official opposition shadow cabinet.
		In addition, my colleague from Fraser Valley, the official opposition whip, asked me to serve as his deputy.
