When a member of a Cabinet goes on; of pflicee he remains a_Privy Uouncillor,"but his position is honof- ary, and he no longer administers a Department of the Government or advi_ses His Excellency; The practice, described in simple words. is thisâ€"when a Government Consideration of this Privy Council takes one back to the begmning of things with respect to the practice of Government as we have it to-day common with the peop ple of the Brit- ish Isles, Austraha, New Zealand, and South Africa-to the beginning of what is known as responsible Gov- ernment. The Privy Council of Canada at resent contains about sixty mem- _ ers, who, with few exceptions, are members of the present Government. or were members of the Governments of the past. For instance, Sir Charles Tu pperp the Hon. John Hag: art and, thep Hon Hugh John Maodonald are members of the Privy Council as well as Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the Hon. W. S. Fielding and the Hon. Rodolphe Le- mieux. Lord Strathcona is also a‘ member of the Privy Council although he has never been a member of a. Cabinet. In theory all members of the Privy Council are advisers of the Governor-I General; in practice his advisers are limited to those members of the Privy Council who form the Cabinet of the. day; and the word cabinet may be defined as “a conventional, but not a legal, term employed to describe those members of the Privy Council who" fill the highest executive oflices in the ‘state,a11u who, by their concerted policy, direct the Government, and are responsible for all the acts of the Crown” - Manager S.
