This practice was eventually phased out to avoid confusing the provincial leaders with the <a href="/wiki/Federalism" title="Federalism">federal</a> prime minister, as well as to indicate the distinct nature of the provincial offices. The last such case outside <a href="/wiki/Quebec" title="Quebec">Quebec</a> was that of <a href="/wiki/W._A._C._Bennett" title="W. A. C. Bennett">W. A. C. Bennett</a>, who served as <a href="/wiki/Premier_of_British_Columbia" title="Premier of British Columbia">premier of British Columbia</a> and styled himself as <i>prime minister</i> until leaving office in 1972. The title <i>premier</i> is typically not granted by written law. The formal name of the government position held by the premier is <i>president of the Executive Council</i> or some similar term, but that formal term is rarely used. </p><p>The French language does not make a distinction between <i>premier</i>, <i>prime minister</i> and <i>first minister</i>, which are all rendered as "<span title="French-language text"><i lang="fr">premier ministre</i></span>". Thus, "The prime minister of Canada and the premier of Ontario" will be translated as "<span title="French-language text"><i lang="fr">Le premier ministre du Canada et le premier ministre de l'Ontario</i></span>". </p><p>The terms <i>prime minister</i> and <i>premier</i> come from the <a href="/wiki/United_Kingdom" title="United Kingdom">United Kingdom</a>, where there is only one <a href="/wiki/Prime_Minister_of_the_United_Kingdom" title="Prime Minister of the United Kingdom">prime minister / premier</a>. Heads of government of constituent countries in the UK are titled <i>first minister</i>.

The premier normally holds a seat in the legislative assembly, being elected in one of the electoral constituencies of the province. The leader of the party which commands a majority in the assembly is then legally appointed the premier by the <a href="/wiki/Lieutenant_Governor_(Canada)" title="Lieutenant Governor (Canada)">lieutenant governor</a>, representing the <a href="/wiki/Monarchy_in_the_Canadian_provinces" title="Monarchy in the Canadian provinces">Canadian monarch in right of the province</a>. While most often the leader of the largest party in a provincial or territorial legislature is invited to become premier, this is not always the case, the most recent exception occurring after the <a href="/wiki/2021_Yukon_general_election" title="2021 Yukon general election">2021 general election</a> in <a href="/wiki/Yukon" title="Yukon">Yukon</a>. </p><p>Premiers advise the lieutenant governor on whom to appoint to the <a href="/wiki/Cabinet_(government)" title="Cabinet (government)">cabinet</a> and they guide legislation through the legislature. Premiers thus exercise a significant amount of power within the Canadian <a href="/wiki/Federation" title="Federation">federation</a>, especially in regard to the federal government. In many ways they remain the most effective representatives of provincial interests to the federal government, as <a href="/wiki/Parliament_of_Canada" title="Parliament of Canada">parliament</a>'s strong <a href="/wiki/Party_discipline" title="Party discipline">party discipline</a> and other factors have impaired provincial representation there. This reality is acknowledged in annual "first ministers conferences" in which the federal prime minister and the 10 premiers meet to discuss provincial-federal relations. The <a href="/wiki/Meech_Lake_Accord" title="Meech Lake Accord">Meech Lake Accord</a> proposed that these meetings be constitutionally mandated, and some premiers have even proposed that these meetings become a formal branch of government, active in the legislative process (see <a href="/wiki/Council_of_the_Federation" title="Council of the Federation">Council of the Federation</a>). However, only one Canadian provincial premier has ever gone on to serve as prime minister: <a href="/wiki/John_Sparrow_David_Thompson" title="John Sparrow David Thompson">John Thompson</a>. Canada's first and sixth prime ministers (<a href="/wiki/John_A._Macdonald" title="John A. Macdonald">John A. Macdonald</a> and <a href="/wiki/Charles_Tupper" title="Charles Tupper">Charles Tupper</a>) had also been co-premier and premier of British provinces that became part of Canada, but no one who has led a victorious general election campaign in a Canadian province has ever been prime minister. </p><p>Canada's three <a href="/wiki/Territory_(country_subdivision)" class="mw-redirect" title="Territory (country subdivision)">territories</a> have premiers as well, though they are technically known as "government leaders". The <a href="/wiki/Premier_of_Yukon" title="Premier of Yukon">premier of Yukon</a> is chosen in the usual fashion, but the premiers of <a href="/wiki/Nunavut" title="Nunavut">Nunavut</a> and <a href="/wiki/Northwest_Territories" title="Northwest Territories">Northwest Territories</a> are selected from within the small and <a href="/wiki/Non-partisan_democracy" title="Non-partisan democracy">non-partisan</a> elected territorial councils. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Current_premiers">Current premiers</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Premier_(Canada)&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Current premiers"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/List_of_current_Canadian_first_ministers" class="mw-redirect" title="List of current Canadian first ministers">List of current Canadian first ministers</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Parties_of_the_Premiers_of_Provinces_of_Canada.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/06/Parties_of_the_Premiers_of_Provinces_of_Canada.png/220px-Parties_of_the_Premiers_of_Provinces_of_Canada.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="190" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/06/Parties_of_the_Premiers_of_Provinces_of_Canada.png/330px-Parties_of_the_Premiers_of_Provinces_of_Canada.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/06/Parties_of_the_Premiers_of_Provinces_of_Canada.png/440px-Parties_of_the_Premiers_of_Provinces_of_Canada.png 2x" data-file-width="4115" data-file-height="3556" /></a><figcaption>Map shows the parties of the Premiers of Provinces of Canada</figcaption></figure> <table class="wikitable sortable"> <caption>List of current Canadian premiers by incumbency </caption> <tbody><tr> <th>First minister </th> <th>Jurisdiction </th> <th>Order </th> <th colspan="2">Party </th> <th>Incumbency </th> <th>First mandate began </th> <th>Current mandate began </th> <th><abbr title="Parliament">Parl.</abbr> </th> <th class="unsortable"><abbr title="Reference">Ref.</abbr> </th></tr> <tr style="display:none;"> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td> </td></tr> <tr> <td data-sort-value="Moe, Scott"><a href="/wiki/Scott_Moe" title="Scott Moe">Scott Moe</a> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Saskatchewan" title="Saskatchewan">Saskatchewan</a> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/List_of_premiers_of_Saskatchewan" title="List of premiers of Saskatchewan">15th</a> </td> <td style="background:#3CB371;
