Note: Attached government documents, and Chapter 48 of The Representation Act. / To observers of the Canadian political scene, it is a well known fact that federal cabinet ministers are appointed to represent various aspects of federalism such as province, race, religion, region, economic and other sectional interests. A cabinet minister may represent more than one of these aspects. This practice is followed regardless of which party is in power and usually supersedes such considerations as political or administrative experience. The pattern of representation in the Canadian federal cabinet has changed considerably since Confederation. In the immediate post Confederation era, the first consideration was provincial representation. A certain number of cabinet ministers were appointed to represent each of the four provinces according to their population using Quebec’s and Ontario’s populations as the basis.
