What is needed for Ministers of the Crown to govern in Canada?

Approval by the Prime Minister
Support of a majority of elected representatives
A successful business background
A tenure of at least 10 years in politics

The correct answer is: Support of a majority of elected representatives

To govern in Canada, Ministers of the Crown need the support of a majority of elected representatives. This means that they must have the backing of at least 170 members of the House of Commons in order to effectively pass legislation and make decisions. Option A is incorrect because while the Prime Minister does appoint Ministers of the Crown, their governing power comes from their support in Parliament, not just the approval of the Prime Minister. Option C is incorrect because a successful business background is not a necessary qualification for governing in Canada. Option D is incorrect because there is no set tenure requirement for Ministers of the Crown, as they can be appointed at any point by the Prime Minister.
