Manitoba:
Government
The province
of Manitoba has a parliamentary form of government. The chief
executive of Manitoba is the lieutenant governor, who is
appointed by the Canadian governor-general in council to serve a
5-year term. The lieutenant governor, representing the British
crown, holds a position that is largely honorary. The premier,
the leader of the majority party, is the actual head of the
provincial government and presides over the executive council.
The Legislative Assembly contains 57 seats, including those of
the premier and the members of the executive council. Members of
the legislature are popularly elected to a 5-year term; however,
the lieutenant governor, on the advice of the premier, may call
for an election before the term has been completed. The province
of Manitoba is represented by 6 senators appointed by the
Canadian governor-general in council and by 14 members in the
House of Commons popularly elected to serve terms of up to five
years in the Canadian Parliament.
