Klein cabinet

The cabinet of Ralph Klein was Executive Council of Alberta from 1992 until 2006.

The Executive Council (commonly known as the cabinet) was made up of members of the Alberta Progressive Conservative Party which held a majority of 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.

Klien's last cabinet was sworn in on November 24, 2004, following the 26th Alberta general election. There was a cabinet shuffle on April 6, 2006, to fill vacancies caused by Lyle Oberg's dismissal and Ed Stelmach's resignation.
