The Holmes Cabinet was the first full Cabinet of Canada and consisted of 4 ministers, as well as the Prime Minister.
The Second Canadian Ministry would conclude on February 19th, 2020 when per convention, the Prime Minister tendered his resignation to King David following the 1st General Election which saw the Kerrigan Coalition take a majority of the seats in Parliament.
