Best Answer

There is no maximum. Theoretically a Canadian can be a Cabinet Minister from the age of 18 (the minimum voting age in the country) until death. The oldest Canadian lived to be about 116, so the maximum term for a Canadian Cabinet Minister is approximately 100 years. This has never happened. A Cabinet Minister in Canada in almost every case has to be a member of the party which holds the majority in the House of Commons, and it is unusual for any party to hold such a majority for more than 30 years.
