The McGuinty ministry was the combined Cabinet (formally the Executive Council of Ontario) that governed Ontario from October 22, 2003, to February 11, 2013. It was chaired by the 24th Premier of Ontario, Dalton McGuinty. The Cabinet was made up of members of the Ontario Liberal Party (Liberal), which commanded first a majority and later a minority in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario.
The ministry replaced the Eves ministry following the aftermath of the 2003 Ontario general election. That election resulted in the resignation of Premier Ernie Eves and his cabinet, and the appointment of McGuinty and his cabinet. The ministry governed through all of the 38th and 39th Parliaments of Ontario, and well as just over a year of the 40th Parliament of Ontario; after the Ontario Liberal Party secured only a minority in the 2011 election, McGuinty eventually resigned, and was succeeded by Kathleen Wynne.
