Minister of Public Services and Procurement


The minister of public services and procurement is the minister of the Crown in the Canadian Cabinet who is responsible for overseeing the Government of Canada's "common service organization", an expansive department responsible for the internal servicing and administration of the federal government. A flavour for the department is given by the list of acts and regulations for which it is responsible. The minister of public services and procurement is also the receiver general for Canada. The minister is responsible for the Phoenix pay system.
The Defence Production Act grants the minister "exclusive authority to buy or otherwise acquire defence supplies and construct defence projects required by the Department of National Defence".
The current minister is Anita Anand, who took over on November 20, 2019 from Carla Qualtrough.
