Almost always made up of members of the Legislative Assembly Of Alberta , 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 Lieutenant-Governor Of Alberta , as representative of the Queen In Right Of Alberta , heads the council, and is referred to as the Governor-in-Council . Other members of the Cabinet, who advise, or Minister , the vice-regal, are selected by the Premier Of Alberta and appointed by the Lieutenant-Governor. Most cabinet ministers are the head of a Ministry , but this is not always the case. As at the federal level the most important Cabinet post after that of the leader is Minister of Finance. Today the next most powerful position is certainly the health portfolio which has a vast budget and is of central political import. Other powerful porfolios include Education and Energy. CURRENT CABINET The current ministry has been in place since December 15 , 2006 , with the formation of a government by the Alberta Conservatives after the Leadership Contest . Members are listed in Order Of Precedence . EXTERNAL LINK |
