[*] On June
25, 1993, Prime Minister Kim Campbell announced the appointment of 24 Ministers,
together with a significant downsizing and restructuring plan of government.
The number of departments were reduced from 32 to 23. Eight departments were
created or fundamentally redesigned, three received new mandates and another 15
were merged or broken up. All departments were streamlined;
All "Ministries of State" positions were abolished and the Cabinet
decision-making system was streamlined to restore full Cabinet as the forum for
decision-making.
Among these key changes in the restructuring plans were:
- the creation of a new Human Resources Development and Labour portfolio
which included the former Department of Labour plus responsibility for
employment and training, social services and income support programs, and
transfers for post-secondary education. The Minister was also given
responsibility for immigrant settlement programs in the setting of
immigration levels and selection criteria;
- a new industry portfolio with special emphasis on small businesses. The
new portfolio included responsibility for telecommunications policy and
programs, as well as business framework, competition and consumer protection
responsibilities;
- the assignment to the Minister of Agriculture of additional responsibility
for Canadians living in small communities and rural areas to review the
impact of federal initiatives on rural and resource-based areas of Canada.
The portfolio was also re-mandated as Agriculture and Agri-Food, reflecting
the addition of responsibility for food processing and manufacturing and
consumer labelling;
- a new Natural Resources portfolio that combined the Departments of
Forestry and Energy, Mines and Resources;
- a new Canadian Heritage portfolio which combined responsibility for
official languages, arts and culture, broadcasting, parks and historic
sites, and programs in the areas of multiculturalism, citizenship, state
ceremonial, amateur sport and the National Capital Commission;
- a re-mandated Health portfolio focussed on the policy and funding
challenges of a sustainable health system in Canada;
- a new Public Works and Government Services portfolio combined the former
Departments of Public Works and Supply and Services and also includes the
Government Telecommunications Agency and the Translation Bureau.
The foregoing changes were legally effected by Orders in Council. Until the
passage of new department statutes, Ministers were formerly appointed to the
existing portfolios from which their new portfolios were being created. However,
their new responsibilities took full legal effect immediately.
