List of Canadian Cabinets
This list shows the Canadian cabinets since the founding of the state in 1867. In Canada the cabinets ( English Canadian ministries ; French Conseils des ministres du Canada ) are not named after the respective prime ministers , but numbered consecutively.
Each Canadian cabinet is formed when the prime minister is appointed and dissolved when the prime minister resigns. The only exception was during the tenure of Robert Borden , whose unionist cabinet from 1917 to 1920 is differentiated from the previously existing conservative cabinet. Elections do not result in a dissolution of the cabinet unless they end in government defeat. This contrasts with other Commonwealth Realms such as Australia or the United Kingdom , where a “new” cabinet is formed after each election of the head of government, regardless of the outcome. The 28 cabinets to date have therefore been formed in 27 cases through a change of prime minister, in one case with the addition of coalition partners by an incumbent prime minister.
