The Attorney General has a unique role to play as a Minister. One part of the Attorney General' s role is that of a Cabinet Minister. In this capacity the Minister is responsible for representing the interests and perspectives of the Ministry at Cabinet, while simultaneously representing the interests and perspectives of Cabinet and consequently the Government to the Ministry and the Ministry's communities of interest. The Attorney General is the chief law officer of the Executive Council. The responsibilities stemming from this role are unlike those of any other Cabinet member. The role has been referred to as "judicial-like" and as the "guardian of the public interest". 1, record 3, English, - Attorney%20General%20of%20Ontario

Le procureur général joue un rôle unique en tant que ministre. L'un de ses rôles consiste à être ministre du Cabinet. Dans l'exercice de ses fonctions, le ministre est chargé de représenter les intérêts et les points de vue du ministère au Cabinet, tout en représentant les intérêts et les points de vue du Cabinet et du gouvernement auprès du ministère et de ses organismes d'intérêt. Le procureur général est le conseiller juridique en chef du Conseil exécutif. Les responsabilités qui découlent de ce rôle ne ressemblent aucunement à celles des autres membres du Cabinet. On a souvent fait allusion à ce rôle en le comparant à celui d'un intervenant «quasi-judiciaire» et d'un «gardien des intérêts du public». 1, record 3, French, - Procureur%20g%C3%A9n%C3%A9ral%20de%20l%27Ontario

Les termes «ministère» et «cabinet» sont souvent employés l'un pour l'autre, mais de fait, le ministère comprend à la fois les ministres et les secrétaires d'État. À l'origine, le conseil des ministres désignait les ministres détenant un portefeuille à titre amovible, alors que le cabinet était l'endroit mis par le premier ministre à la disposition du conseil pour ses réunions. Ministère et cabinet ne sont pas toujours interchangeables, les ministres n'étant pas tous membres du Cabinet. Mais durant une bonne partie de l'histoire du Canada, les deux termes ont désigné la même chose. 3, record 4, French, - minist%C3%A8re
