The president of the Treasury Board (French: président du Conseil du Trésor) chairs the Treasury Board (a committee of the Canadian Cabinet in the Privy Council) and is the minister responsible for the Treasury Board Secretariat (a central agency of the Government of Canada), which is responsible for accounting for the government's fiscal operations.[6]
The position is currently held by Jean-Yves Duclos.
History[edit]
The position was created as a ministerial position in the Canadian Cabinet in 1966 when the Treasury Board became a full-fledged department. From 1867 to 1966 the Treasury Board had been part of the Department of Finance.
Technically, the Treasury Board is a Cabinet committee of the Privy Council. It is responsible for managing the government's fiscal and administrative responsibilities including management of the civil service and oversight of expenditures.
The Treasury Board is supported by its department: the Treasury Board Secretariat, a central agency.
