Welcome to the Privy Council Office

Welcome to the Privy Council Office (PCO) website. At PCO, our mission is to serve Canada and Canadians by providing the best non-partisan advice and support to the Prime Minister and Cabinet. That work takes many forms, all of it guided by our values.

We are proud of our role in the Government of Canada. We have designed this site to help explain what we do and our links to other government activities. On this site, you will find information about:

• PCO and its functions;
• the office of the Clerk of the Privy Council;
• the structure of PCO;
• Prime Minister; 
• PCO's Ministers; 
• Expenditure Review - PCO Departmental Savings

We hope you find this site useful and, above all, that you get a sense of PCO’s commitment to the highest standards of professionalism and service.
