314 THE EXECUTIVE GOVERNMENT [PART II It would be tedious to give in detail the changes of minis- terial offices in the provinces. In Ontario there are now, in 1911, in addition to the Premier, who is President of the Council, the Attorney-General, Minister of Education, Minister of Public Works, Minister of Lands, Forests and Mines, Secretary, Treasurer, Minister of Agriculture, and three ministers without portfolio. In that province the minis- terial salary is six thousand dollars, the Premier receiving nine thousand, which compares with seven thousand dollars in Canada for ministers, where since 1905 political pensions have been provided and a salary for the leader of the Oppo- sition, Mr. Borden. In Quebec there is a Premier and Attorney-General, Minister of Lands and Forests, Provincial Treasurer, Minister of Agriculture, Minister of Public Works and Labour, Provincial Secretary, Minister of Colonization, Mines, and Fisheries, and two ministers without portfolio. The ministerial salary is six thousand dollars. In Nova Scotia the number of the Executive Council is fixed at nine? of whom only three have portfolios with salaries of five thousand dollars a year, and an additional thousand for the Premier : these are the Premier and Provincial Secretary, Attorney- General, and Commissioner of Mines and Public Works. In New Brunswick, where nine is the maximum, the Premier is Attorney-General, and there are the Provincial Secretary and Receiver-General, Surveyor-General, Chief Commissioner of Public Works, Commissioner for Agriculture, President of the Council, and Solicitor-General, of whom the President is unpaid, and the salaries of the rest vary from two thousand one hundred to seventeen hundred dollars, with twelve hundred for the Solicitor-General. In Manitoba the Presi- dent of the Council, who is Premier, holds also the posts of Minister of Agriculture and Immigration, Commissioner of Railways, and Commissioner of Provincial Lands; there are also a Provincial Treasurer, a Minister of Public Works, an Attornev-General, a Provincial Secretary, and a Municipal * The high position of the Attorney-General is common in nearly all the Dominions, and is one point of contrast with the practice in the United Kingdom, t Rew.
