Danilov S.Yu. A minority cabinet: status and operation on the example of Canada

Abstract: The subject of this article is the status and main directions of the work of a specific type of government – a minority cabinet on the example of Canada’s parliamentary system in the end of the 20th, beginning of the 21st century. The author also reviews the sources of the legal regulation of the status and the work of the minority cabinet. Its relations with the lower house and the opposition parties, as well as the implementation of the government priorities within the economic and social areas are being researched. The work of the cabinet aimed at supporting the national state unity of the federation is also being analyzed. The specific of the fuel and energy strategy of Ottawa is revealed. The author emphasized the difficulties of state government and decentralized federation. The opinions established within our scientific and publicistic literature about the inherent weakness and non-effectiveness of the minority cabinet are false. The higher complexity of managing the parliamentary state, precisely under the conditions when the sustained majority is absent in the lower house, stimulates the increase of the level of management skill of the government.

Keywords:
