New Brunswick: Government
The province of New
Brunswick has a parliamentary form of government. The
chief executive of the province 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 55
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 New Brunswick is represented by 10
senators appointed by the Canadian governor-general in
council and by 10 members in the House of Commons
popularly elected to serve terms of up to five years in
the Canadian Parliament. |
