What is the caretaker convention? | Nerds on Politics

What is the caretaker convention and how does it affect incumbent governments during Ontario and Canadian elections? Under the parliamentary system in Canadian federal and provincial legislatures, MPs and MPPs lose their jobs once a legislature is dissolved and an election is called – there are no incumbent MPs or MPPs. But the premier and cabinet keep their jobs. If Doug Ford is no longer an MPP during an election, how can he still be Ontario’s premier? In this TVO Nerds on Politics explainer, journalists and political experts Steve Paikin and John Michael McGrath go over the caretaker convention, and how it allows a government to continue functioning during an election campaign. They also discuss how the convention affects the ability of government to act in emergencies, the powers of the premier and cabinet ministers, and the role of senior civil servants. They also talk about how political leaders like Ford wear multiple hats at different times – party leader, premier, MPP. This crash course offers a primer on Ontario politics, how provincial and federal elections work, incumbency, and parliamentary history and tradition in Canada and other countries. 00:00 Intro 00:24 What happens to the provincial legislature during an election? 1:03 What is the caretaker convention? 1:58 Is the caretaker convention a law? 2:08 What can the premier do under the caretaker convention? 3:36 Do former sitting members still earn a salary?
