520 _aCharacteristics of ministerial careers - the length of time cabinet ministers hold office, the number and type of portfolios they hold, ministers' pre-cabinet political experience, the circumstances of their leaving cabinet, and the like - constitute an important but understudied aspect of Canadian cabinets. This article examines career patterns among the 1,375 individuals who held ministerial office in the ten provinces between the mid-1940s and the mid-1990s. Evidence of sweeping changes in the basic contours of provincial ministerial careers since World War II is presented and analysed. Possible implications of these changes on internal cabinet dynamics are discussed. - Reproduced
