| | A Prime Minister does not a have a fixed term: he is required to resign only if his government does not have the confidence of the House of Commons soon after a general election. | | | However, if the leader of the governing party is changed shortly before an election is due and the new leader is not a Member of Parliament, he or she will normally await the general election before running for a seat. | | | For example, John Turner was briefly Prime Minister in 1984 without being a member of the House of Commons; he would ironically win his seat in the general election that swept him from power. |

| | The act provided for the appointment of ministers of state who may be assigned to assist any minister having responsibility for a department or portion of the public service. | | | While Minister without Portfolio is seen by some as a mere patronage appointment, it has been a role that numerous political notables have played over time, including recent Prime Minister Jean Chrétien, who filled the role in a Pearson cabinet in the 60s; John Turner also "kept a seat warm" in a Pearson cabinet. | | | Incumbents were sworn as privy councillors and attended cabinet meetings on the invitation of the Prime Minister. |
