How It Operates
The Governor General (and each provincial Lieutenant-Governor) governs through a Cabinet, headed by a Prime Minister or Premier (the two terms mean the same thing: first minister). If a national or provincial general election gives a party opposed to the Cabinet in office a clear majority (that is, more than half the seats) in the House of Commons or the legislature, the Cabinet resigns and the Governor General or Lieutenant-Governor calls on the leader of the victorious party to become Prime Minister and form a new Cabinet. The Prime Minister chooses the other Ministers, who are then formally appointed by the Governor General or, in the provinces, by the Lieutenant-Governor. If no party gets a clear majority, the Cabinet that was in office before and during the election has two choices. It can resign, in which case the Governor General or Lieutenant-Governor will call on the leader of the largest opposition party to form a Cabinet. Or the Cabinet already in office can choose to stay in office and meet the newly elected House — which, however, it must do promptly. In either case, it is the people’s representatives in the newly elected House who will decide whether the “minority” government (one whose own party has fewer than half the seats) shall stay in office or be thrown out.

Answer 3

There are no elections for prime minister in Canada. There is general election for Parliament and the leader of the winning party becomes automatically Prime Minister and forms new government.
