  • The Government of Ontario refers to the provincial government of the province of Ontario. Its powers and structure are set out in the Constitution Act, 1867. In modern Canadian use, the term "government" referred broadly to the cabinet of the day, elected from the Legislative Assembly of Ontario and the non-political staff within each provincial department or agency – that is, the civil service. The civil service that manages and delivers government policies, programs, and services is called the Ontario Public Service. The province of Ontario is governed by a unicameral legislature, the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, which operates in the Westminster system of government. The political party that wins the largest number of seats in the legislature normally forms the government, and the party's leader becomes premier of the province, i.e. , the head of the government. Due to the location of the Ontario Legislature on the grounds of Queen's Park, the Ontario government is frequently referred to by the metonym "Queen's Park".
