Executive councils
For the executive councils (cabinet) of each province, see Executive Council (Canada).
Territories
Unlike the provinces, the territories of Canada have no inherent jurisdiction and only have those powers delegated to them by the federal government.[1][2][3]
Commissioners
Unlike the Governor General or a Lieutenant-Governor, who are representatives of the Queen of Canada,Commissioners are not vice-regal representatives. They are appointed by the federal government as a delegate of cabinet. Under the federal statutes governing the territories, the Commissioners act in accordance with written instructions from cabinet or the minister responsible (currently the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development).
Heads of government
Municipalities
In Canada, incorporated municipalities are creations of the provincial and territorial governments. They have no independent existence under the Constitution.
