Ministers of the Crown are not elected. They are appointed by the Governor General on the advice of the prime minister. As ministers are responsible to members of the elected House of Commons, ministers are generally appointed from among members of the Government caucus in the Lower House. It is not unusual, however, for one or more ministers to be appointed from the Senate.

In Canada, the term 'MLA' means Member of the Legislative Assembly. It is a term used in several provinces and territories (but not all) in reference to someone who has been elected to a provincial or territorial legislature. In Ontario the term is Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP), in Quebec, it is Member of the National assembly (MNA), and in Newfoundland it is Member of the House of Assembly (MHA). (A person who has been elected to the federal House of Commons is a Member of Parliament and is referred to as an 'MP.') A 'Cabinet' is the group of MLAs (or MPs) who actually govern. Most Cabinet Ministers are in charge of a specific government ministry, such as transportation, justice, finance, etc. A cabinet minister is almost always an MPP (or MP), but there have been some exceptions. MLAs are either members of the government party, or members of one of the opposition parties. In a parliamentary system, such as we have in Canada, voters do not elect a government. They elect a legislature. A government is then formed by the leader of the political party that elected the most MLAs (or MPs).

In Canada, the frequency of changes in ministers can vary based on several factors, including cabinet reshuffles, elections, or the resignation of a minister. Typically, prime ministers may conduct cabinet reshuffles every few years or in response to specific circumstances. Additionally, new ministers may be appointed following federal elections, which occur roughly every four years. As a result, there is no fixed schedule for ministerial changes; it largely depends on the political landscape and decisions made by the prime minister.
