The Government of Canada has officially re-merged Foreign Affairs Canada and International Trade Canada into the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade/Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada ( see here). This page will need to be changed to reflect that development. Escheffel 21:15, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
HRSDC and SDC were merged in March 2006 to form Human Resources and Social Development (HRSD). The merge is explained vaguely here -- Waterspyder 16:54, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
Image:Can-pol w.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I don't understand why there's a ministry for "Status of Women Canada", but for some reason there is no "Status of Men Canada". If nowadays everyone is so worried about equality, why not have men on the list too. Its not equality having a women status ministry and not one for men. JoJaEpp ( talk) 18:06, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
The Privy Council is missing from this page, this seems like an oversight since Cabinet members must be sworn in to this entity to do their work.
Also both the PCO and Treasury Board are technically and in some way originated from this entity. Pumpernickel & Spinach Dip ( talk) 14:49, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
Yes but I think there is some confusion from the Crown heading because technically the PCO and Treasury Board are derived from the Privy Council but currently they’re listed as Departments which I believe isn’t technically true. Pumpernickel & Spinach Dip ( talk) 19:47, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
Is this page about the structure of The Government or the Cabinet? I ask the question because there is no Department of National Revenue (the CRA and Taxpayer Ombudsman are technically standalone entities), further not every Minister corresponds to a Government Department, and some larger Departments have multiple ministers that take up the responsibilities of the Department. What I’m pointing to is that there are several examples when Departments or Subsidiary units are being made up to fit the description of a particular Minister.
Is there a better way of organizing the page to not just reflect the structure of the government, but also reflect the minister or ministers responsible for overseeing each department, agencies etc.?
One example look at the Australian equivalent of this page. Pumpernickel & Spinach Dip ( talk) 15:05, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
It could be by department, but the Standalone list could also be divided as well particular the Parliament of Canada and the Judicial Courts. Pumpernickel & Spinach Dip ( talk) 19:43, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
I agree partially,but if we simplify too much we can start to imply something that isn’t true. For instance, The Civilian Review Commission you mentioned isn’t apart or subsidiary to Public Safety and it is independent although it’s function is related to the department, it is separate. That’s just one example not of many, somethings there aren’t neat simply categories for every entity, and trust I would like their to be. Pumpernickel & Spinach Dip ( talk) 17:20, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

The Canadian Secretary to the Queen is now the Minister of Canadian Heritage, and this is in the Culture sections, so should we remove it from one or keep both? I’m not invested in either outcome. Pumpernickel & Spinach Dip ( talk) 22:39, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
I’m going to added special operating agencies to the appropriate sections to differentiate them from Agencies.
Could we use Enforcement as a description for the appropriate Agencies? When it comes to Csis and Cse we could use intelligence Agencies (and the others I’m forgetting)? Pumpernickel & Spinach Dip ( talk) 23:52, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

Most of the Department subcategories and offices are on their respective Wikipedia pages, we could make the actual department name the heading and then add a reference underneath to the departments article. The only thing is it breaks up the list format we’re using. Pumpernickel & Spinach Dip ( talk) 00:36, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
I really want to avoid putting a link in the heading or subheadings. Pumpernickel & Spinach Dip ( talk) 00:38, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
Should the Independent category be divided into Independent Agencies and Independent Review bodies? Pumpernickel & Spinach Dip ( talk) 02:00, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: No consensus to move ( non-admin closure) ( t · c) buidhe 22:07, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
Structure of the Canadian federal government → Structure of the Canadian federal state – I'm making this a discussion since a similar move seemed to be controversial for another page. I think the predominant usage in Canada is that the exact expression "federal government" refers to the executive branch (and thus excluding the legislative branch, and the judicial branch even more so).
And the expression "Canadian state" is well attested: " Under the Constitution, Canada has three branches of state. The executive branch (the Prime Minister or Premier and Cabinet) decides policy. The legislative branch (Parliament or legislatures) makes laws. The judiciary (the courts) interprets and applies laws. Each branch has a different role." ( SCC Case in Brief)
