The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today announced changes to the structure and mandate of Cabinet committees to make them even more efficient and responsive to the needs of Canadians, and to reflect recent changes to the Ministry...
The Treasury Board will assume responsibility for key delivery challenges including defence procurement and modernizing the public service pay system... The Prime Minister is also creating a new Incident Response Group, similar to those in place with our Five Eyes allies. It will be a dedicated, emergency committee that will convene in the event of a national crisis or during incidents elsewhere that have major implications for Canada. The Group will bring together relevant ministers and senior government leadership to coordinate a prompt federal response and make fast, effective decisions to keep Canadians safe and secure, at home and abroad. The new list of Cabinet committees is as follows:- Cabinet Committee on Agenda, Results and Communications
- Cabinet Committee on Growing the Middle Class and Inclusion
- Cabinet Committee on Canada-U.S. Relations, Trade Diversification and Internal Trade
- Cabinet Committee on Reconciliation
- Cabinet Committee on Environment and Clean Growth
- Cabinet Committee on Canada in the World and Public Security
- Treasury Board
- Ad Hoc Committee on the 2018 B.C. Wildfires
