Commissions of Inquiry
Under the Inquiries Act, R.S., c.I-13, s.2-3, "The Governor
in Council may, whenever the Governor in Council deems it expedient, cause
inquiry to be made into and concerning any matter connected with the good
government of Canada or the conduct of any part of the public business
thereof. [...] the Governor in Council may, by a commission, appoint
persons as commissioners by whom the inquiry shall be
conducted." For purposes of administrative and financial
management, Commissions of Inquiry Part I are designated as departments
under provisions of the Financial Administration Act (FAA).
The Prime Minister is designated as the "appropriate Minister"
under the FAA for most Commissions of Inquiry.
