Cabinet committee (Canada)

This article is about cabinet committees in the Canadian Federal Government. For the equivalent in the Government of the United Kingdom, see United Kingdom cabinet committee.

The Government of Canada is directed by the Cabinet, a group of senior government ministers led by the Prime Minister. Cabinet committees are a set of committees in the ministry that are responsible for enacting their agenda.

When the Prime Minister is unable to attend Cabinet or the chair and any vice-chair of a Cabinet committee are absent, the next most senior minister in the ministerial ranking should take the chair. Committee membership is limited to ministers, but non-ministers may attend in some cases.
