Deputy Minister champions and committees

Deputy Minister champions

Deputy Minister champions provide support and guidance to various communities or programs from a strategic level and  build awareness of and advance issues.

Deputy Minister committees

The Clerk of the Privy Council chairs three Deputy Minister Committees which:
•  Advance the management agenda and            the renewal of the Public Service;
•  Function as the human resources                      committee for the senior executive cadre        of the Public Service; and
•  Discuss the implementation of the                    Government’s policy agenda and                      priorities.

In addition to these Clerk-chaired Deputy Minister Committees, Deputy Ministers sit on various policy and operational committees to advance the implementation of the Government’s agenda in an integrated way and strengthen government-wide policy coherence. These committees focus on issues such as economic growth, the net-zero economy, social well-being, digital government, Indigenous reconciliation, international affairs, national security, and more. Departments provide secretariat and policy support for these committees.
