Description of Work:
The Corporate Secretariat Bureau coordinates advice and provides services to ministers and deputy ministers related to Cabinet and parliamentary affairs, correspondence, and executive briefing. It is also responsible for departmental performance and compliance related to obligations under the Access to Information Act, the Privacy Act, the Canada Evidence Act, and the Statutory Instruments Act (i.e., regulations making). The Corporate Secretariat provides strategic advice and support for the department’s corporate governance committees, particularly the Executive Committee, and acts as a focal point for the department’s work to advance open and transparent government. Its Ministerial Liaison Unit plays a unique role in its direct administrative support to ministers’ and deputy ministers’ offices. The Corporate Secretariat’s primary clients are ministers and deputy ministers. However, in all areas of its mandate (e.g., Cabinet affairs, executive briefing, ATIP, etc.), it also provides advice and support to clients in divisions across the department, including training on processes, strategies, and legal obligations.

The resources will support the significant organizational design elements related to the Scriba and ATIP projects.
