Repeal of Five Salaries Act Designations

Summary#

This is an order that cancels certain past designations made under the Salaries Act. It repeals the designations created by five earlier Orders in Council from November 20, 2019, October 26, 2021, and July 26, 2023. The order was registered on March 26, 2025 (P.C. 2025-406, decision dated March 14, 2025).

What it does#

• Repeals the designations made by Order in Council P.C. 2019-1346 of November 20, 2019.
• Repeals the designations made by Order in Council P.C. 2021-923 of October 26, 2021.
• Repeals the designations made by Order in Council P.C. 2023-760, P.C. 2023-761, and P.C. 2023-762 of July 26, 2023.
• The repeal was made by the Governor General in Council on the recommendation of the Prime Minister, under subsections 5(1) and (3) of the Salaries Act.
• The Gazette item does not list the specific positions, roles, or details of what each repealed designation covered.

Who's affected#

• Likely people or positions that were named or covered in the five cited Orders in Council. The Gazette notice itself does not say which positions those were.
• Possibly the federal departments that administered those designations and any public servants whose pay or classification depended on them.
• If you think you might be affected, check the full text of the listed Orders in Council (P.C. numbers above) or contact the relevant department — the Gazette notice does not specify who is directly impacted.

Why it matters#

• Repealing a designation under the Salaries Act can remove a previously set salary or classification rule for the positions named in the earlier orders. That could affect pay, allowances, or administrative handling for those positions.
• For most members of the public, this is a technical administrative change with limited direct impact. For people named in the original Orders in Council, or the departments that manage them, it could change pay or job classification arrangements.
• The Gazette entry is short and does not provide details about practical effects. To know the exact consequences, you need to look at the cancelled Orders in Council listed above.
