Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ministers are held accountable for the performance of their portfolios primarily through fielding questions in the legislature, where they must answer to both the opposition and the public for their decisions and the outcomes of their departments. Regular meetings with the governor general or lieutenant governor and routine hearings before the Supreme Court of Canada are not standard practices for ministerial accountability.
