How Canadians Govern Themselves › Government Structure
What is the role of the Premier in a province?
- Similar to the Prime Minister at the federal level, leading the provincial government
- The speaker of the provincial legislature
- The representative of the federal government in each province
- The leader of the opposition in the provincial legislature
Why this is the correct answer
A provincial Premier holds the same position at the provincial level that the Prime Minister holds federally, leading the party with the most seats in the legislature. Premiers head their provincial Cabinet and are accountable to the provincial legislature.
