The Executive Council (commonly known as the cabinet) is made up of members of the Alberta Progressive Conservative Party which held a majority of the seats in the Legislative Assembly of Alberta. The cabinet was appointed by the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta on the advice of the premier. Members of the council are styled "the Honourable" only for the duration of their membership, not for life.
