Repeal: Minister of Housing and Diversity and Inclusion

Summary#

This is an order (registration SI/2023-29) that repeals an earlier order in council relating to the ministerial post. The repeal was made by the Governor General in Council on July 26, 2023 and published in the Canada Gazette on August 16, 2023 under the Salaries Act.

What it does#

• Repeals Order in Council P.C. 2022-28 of January 13, 2022.
• The repeal was issued as P.C. 2023-754 on July 26, 2023 and registered as SI/2023-29 when published.

Who's affected#

• The notice names the office of the Minister of Housing and Diversity and Inclusion, so people tracking that minister’s pay, title or legal authorizations may be directly affected.
• It may also be relevant to government payroll staff, the Privy Council Office, Parliamentarians, journalists, and researchers who follow ministerial appointments and salaries.
• The Canada Gazette notice does not explain practical steps or list other groups affected, so the full impact is unclear from this item alone.

Why it matters#

• Repealing an earlier order removes whatever legal authorization or detail was set out in P.C. 2022-28.
• If that earlier order established a salary, title, or special condition for the minister’s office, dropping it could change administrative or payroll arrangements — but the notice does not say what, if anything, replaces it.
• For most members of the public this is routine government housekeeping. For people who follow government pay, appointments, or legal authorizations for ministers, it is a signal to check related records or follow-up documents for details.
