Table of Public Statutes and Responsible Ministers

Abstract

The name of the minister who has responsibility for the administration of the Act is listed under the title of the Act. Where a minister is expressly designated in an Act as the minister responsible, that minister’s name is given. If a minister is designated by order in council, the registration number of the designation order (SI) is included. Where no minister has been specifically designated, either in the Act or by order in council, the name of the minister who introduced the bill in Parliament is given. It should also be noted that this Table does not necessarily reflect changes in ministerial responsibilities resulting from orders made under the Public Service Rearrangement and Transfer of Duties Act.
