Provincial Governments. 



Each province has a Lieutenant-Governor appointed for five years by the 

 Governor-General of Canada, and is aided by an executive council whose 

 members have seats in the legislature and are responsible to the popular 

 house for their actions in council. The provinces of Quebec and Nova Scotia 

 have a legislative council composed of 21 and 24 members respectively, 

 -appointed by the lieutenant-governor in council of each province. In the 

 other provinces there is only one house, an elected assembly. The duration 

 of parliament is four years in all provinces excepting Nova Scotia and Quebec, 

 where it is five years, although it may be dissolved at any time within that 

 period. Sessions are held annually, the speaker is elected by the House,
