Who appoints the Alberta apprenticeship and industry training board?

• A. The lieutenant governor
• B. The Premier
• C. The Minister of Education
• D. The Governor General

Answer: (A)

In Alberta, the appointment of members to provincial boards is made by the Crown’s representative, the lieutenant governor, acting on the advice of the premier and cabinet. This formal role reflects how provincial appointments are carried out under the constitutional framework: the lieutenant governor signs the appointment, while the cabinet provides the direction and recommendations. The Governor General handles federal matters, not provincial boards. The premier or a minister may influence who is recommended, but the official appointing authority is the lieutenant governor. That’s why this option is the correct one.
