The Government of Alberta (French: Gouvernement de l'Alberta) refers to the provincial government of the province of Alberta. 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 (formally the Executive Council of Alberta), elected from the Legislative Assembly of Alberta and the non-political staff within each provincial department or agency – that is, the civil service.
The Province of Alberta is governed by a unicameral legislature, the Legislative Assembly of Alberta, 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.
