The Executive Council of New Brunswick (informally and more commonly, the Cabinet of New Brunswick) is the cabinet of the Canadian province.
Almost always made up of members of the Legislative Assembly of the province. 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 cabinet is selected by the Lieutenant-Governor of New Brunswick on the advice of the Premier of New Brunswick. Most cabinet ministers are the head of a ministry, but this is not always the case.
Current Cabinet
The current cabinet has been in place since soon after the 2003 provincial election.
Ministers' names are listed in the order their departments appear in the Executive Council Act (New Brunswick).
