Cabinet
Cabinet ministers are in charge of specific government ministries.
The cabinet is the framework in which members of Executive Council put government policies into practice. Beyond approving Orders in Council, cabinet ratifies policy matters and is the final authority on issues related to the day-to-day operation of government. The Premier chairs cabinet and chooses Alberta's cabinet ministers.
