== Composition ==
Made up of members of the [[Quebec National Assembly]] 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.
Typically made up of members of the [[National Assembly of Quebec]], the provincial Executive Council is similar in structure and role to the federal [[Cabinet of Canada]]. The lieutenant governor, as representative of the [[Monarchy in Quebec|Crown in Right of Quebec]], heads the council, and is referred to as the [[Queen-in-Council|''Governor-in-Council'']]. Other members of the cabinet are selected by the premier, and appointed by the lieutenant governor. Most members are the head of a [[Ministry (government department)|ministry]], but this is not always the case.
 
==Membership==
The cabinet is selected by the [[Premier of Quebec]] and sworn in by the [[Lieutenant-Governor of Quebec]]. Most cabinet ministers are the head of a [[ministry]], but this is not always the case.
{{Update|part=section|date=February 2023}}
The current cabinet has been in place since October 18, 2018, after the [[2018 Quebec general election|2018 election]] elected the [[Coalition Avenir Québec]] under [[François Legault]].
 
{| class="wikitable"
Like 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.
