Queen's Privy Council for Canada


 

The Queen's Privy Council for Canada is the ceremonial council of advisors to the Queen of Canada, whose members are appointed by the Governor General of Canada for life on the advice of the Prime Minister. It was established by the British North America Act 1867, and is modelled on the Privy Council of the United Kingdom. Britain and Canada are the only two Commonwealth Realms to have privy councils. Other Realms, as well as Canadian provinces, have Executive Councils which are the equivalent of the federal Cabinet in Canada.
