An ExecutiveCouncil in Commonwealth constitutional practice is the top tier of a government led by a Governor-General, Governor or a Lieutenant-Governor ("governor"), and exists to advise the governor of the colony/dominion/realm etc.
These Councils have almost the same functions as the Privy Council in the United Kingdom, and accordingly, decsions of the Cabinet gain legal effect by being formally adopted by the ExecutiveCouncil.
Consistent with wider Commonwealth practice, Canadian provinces have ExecutiveCouncils which are usually referred to informally as Cabinets and are headed by a provincial Premier.
The ExecutiveCouncil of PrinceEdwardIsland is the formal title of the Cabinet of the province.
The Council consists of Ministers, headed by the Premier and is formally appointed by the Lieutenant governor on the advice of the Premier (whose formal title is President of the ExecutiveCouncil).
