- Source: Executive Council of the Province of Canada
The Executive Council of the Province of Canada had a similar function to the Cabinet in England but was not responsible to the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada from its inception in 1841 to 1848.
Members were advisers to the Governor and later to the Premier of the Province of Canada. Members of the Executive Council were generally members of the elected Legislative Assembly, but there were also some members from the appointed Legislative Council of the Province of Canada. The council replaced the Executive Councils of Upper and Lower Canada. It lasted from 1841 to 1867, when the Province of Canada was abolished as part of Canadian Confederation. It was replaced at the federal level by the Queen's Privy Council of Canada, and at the provincial level by the executive councils of the two new provinces, Ontario and Quebec.
The Executive Council sat at several capitals of the Province of Canada:
Kingston 1841–1843
Montreal 1843–1849
Toronto 1849–1852
Quebec City 1852–1856
