Cabinet committee (Canada)

The Government of Canada is directed by the Cabinet, a group of senior government ministers led by the Prime Minister. Cabinet committees are a set of committees in the ministry that are responsible for enacting their agenda.

When the Prime Minister is unable to attend Cabinet or the chair and any vice-chair of a Cabinet committee are absent, the next most senior minister in the ministerial ranking should take the chair. Committee membership is limited to ministers, but non-ministers may attend in some cases.
