The Executive Council of Quebec (informally and more commonly, the Cabinet of Quebec and in French Le Conseil des ministres) is the cabinet of the Canadian province.
Made up of members of the Quebec National Assembly the cabinet is similar in structure and role to the Cabinet of Canada while being smaller in size. As federal and provincial responsibilities differ there are a number of different portfolios between the federal and provincial governments.
Like at the federal level the most important cabinet post after that of the leader is Minister of Finance. Today the next most powerful position is certainly the health portfolio which has a vast budget and is of central political import. Other powerful porfolios include Education and Energy.

Quebec sovereigntists are generally not in opposition to federalism as a concept, but are opposed to the present federal system of Canada and do not believe it can be reformed in a way that could answer what they see as the legitimate wish of Quebecers to govern themselves freely.
Sovereignty-association was proposed to the population of Quebec in the 1980 Quebec referendum.
Quebec federalist nationalists think that the Quebec people should be recognized as a de facto nation by the federal government of Canada and initiate the constitutional reforms that presuppose such a recognition.
The ExecutiveCouncil of Quebec (informally and more commonly, the Cabinet of Quebec and in French Le Conseil des ministres) is the cabinet of the government of Quebec, Canada.
Made up of members of the Quebec National Assembly, the cabinet is similar in structure and role to the Cabinet of Canada while being smaller in size.
The cabinet is selected by the Premier of Quebec and sworn in by the Lieutenant-Governor of Quebec.
