Deputy ministers take political direction from a minister of the Crown, who is typically an elected member of Parliament and responsible for the department.

Much of the current management structure of the Government of Canada – including the role of deputy heads – originates from the Royal Commission on Government Organization, also known as the Glassco Commission. The title is not only used for the federal (national) government, but also for equivalent positions in the provincial and territorial governments. Role A deputy minister has r ...
