What usually makes up a municipal council?

  1. Governor General and Cabinet ministers

  2. Mayor (or reeve) and councillors or aldermen

  3. Prime Minister and senators

  4. Leaders of national Aboriginal organizations

The correct answer is: Mayor (or reeve) and councillors or aldermen

A municipal council is not influenced by the federal government or national organizations, so it cannot be composed of the Governor General, Cabinet ministers, Prime Minister, senators, or national Aboriginal organization leaders. A municipal council is a local governing body that is responsible for making decisions and setting policies for a specific municipality, such as a city or town. It is typically made up of a mayor (or reeve) and a group of elected councillors or aldermen who represent different wards within the municipality. This allows for the voices and needs of different areas within the municipality to be heard and considered in decision making. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
