The Province of Manitoba,similar to other Canadian provinces and territories,is governed through a Westminster-based parliamentary system. The Manitoba government's authority to conduct provincial affairs is derived from the Constitution of Canada,which divides legislative powers among the federal parliament and the provincial legislatures. Manitoba operates through three levels of government:the executive,the legislative,and the judiciary. The executive branch—the Executive Council of Manitoba—consists of the Premier,who is the head of government and the President of the Executive Council. The legislative branch—Manitoba Legislature—consists of the Speaker and elected members,who are served by the Clerk,the Officers of the Legislative Assembly,and the employees of the legislative service. The Legislative Assembly consists of the 57 members (MLAs) elected to represent the people of Manitoba.
