Executive Council of New Brunswick

Almost always made up of members of the Legislative Assembly of the province. The cabinet is similar in structure and role to the Cabinet of Canada while being smaller in size. As federal and provincial responsibilities differ there are a number of different portfolios between the federal and provincial governments.

The cabinet is selected by the Lieutenant-Governor of New Brunswick on the advice of the Premier of New Brunswick. Most cabinet ministers are the head of a ministry, but this is not always the case.
