What are the responsibilities of Cabinet ministers?

To retain the confidence of the House
To manage provincial legislatures
To elect the Prime Minister
To select the Senators

The correct answer is: To retain the confidence of the House

Cabinet ministers are responsible for retaining the confidence of the House, which means they need to ensure that the majority of the members of Parliament support their work and policies. This is important because if the House loses confidence in a cabinet minister, they may be forced to resign. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the responsibilities of Cabinet ministers. Managing provincial legislatures is the responsibility of provincial governments, not the federal Cabinet. The election of the Prime Minister is done by the members of the House of Commons, not by cabinet ministers. The selection of Senators is also not a responsibility of Cabinet ministers, as senators are chosen by the Prime Minister and appointed by the Governor General.
