Almost always made up of members of the Nova Scotia House of Assembly, the cabinet is similar in structure and role to the federal Canadian cabinet, though smaller in size with different portfolios.
The Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia, as representative of the King in Right of Nova Scotia, heads the executive council, and is referred to as the Governor-in-Council. Other members are selected by the Premier of Nova Scotia and appointed by the Lieutenant-Governor. Most cabinet ministers are the head of a department, but this is not always the case.

Honorifics
Since 2007, former Executive Councillors are automatically appointed honorary members of the Executive Council and styled "the Honourable" with the post-nominal letters "ECNS" for life upon leaving office. In 2009, this right was extended to all living former Executive Councillors. Honorary membership is automatically terminated upon conviction for an indictable offence punishable by more than five years imprisonment.[1]
