Minister for Canadian Intergovernmental Secretariat Updated

Summary#

This is the Order Amending Schedule I.1 to the Financial Administration Act (SOR/2019-350). It simply changes which federal ministerial title is listed for the Canadian Intergovernmental Conference Secretariat in Schedule I.1 of the Financial Administration Act. The order was registered on December 4, 2019 and published in the Canada Gazette on December 25, 2019.

What it does#

• Removes the reference to the President of the Queen’s Privy Council for Canada in column II of Schedule I.1 opposite the Canadian Intergovernmental Conference Secretariat (column I).
• Replaces that reference with a reference to the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs.

Who's affected#

• The main named organization is the Canadian Intergovernmental Conference Secretariat.
• The change names which ministerial title (the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, rather than the President of the Queen’s Privy Council for Canada) is listed in the statute for that secretariat.
• Otherwise, this appears to be an internal administrative update. It is unclear from the item whether it causes any operational or funding changes beyond the formal listing.

Why it matters#

• This is a routine administrative change that updates which ministerial role is formally associated with the secretariat in federal financial administration records.
• It matters to people tracking who is listed as responsible for a government body—such as researchers, journalists, or organizations that monitor ministerial responsibilities and reporting lines.
