WHAT DOES DEPUTY MINISTER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Deputy minister (Canada)

In Canada, a deputy minister is the senior civil servant in a government department. He or she takes political direction from an elected minister. Responsibility for the department's day-to-day operations, budget and program development lie with the deputy minister. The deputy minister is the functional head of the department in question, while the minister is the department's political master. Deputy ministers serve at the pleasure of the government, and can sometimes lose their positions as a result of a change in the party in power, particularly if they are seen as too closely identified with the policies of the previous government. This should not be confused with the position of Deputy Prime Minister of Canada who is not a deputy minister at all but a politician and senior member of the Cabinet. The Canadian position of deputy minister is equivalent to the British position of permanent secretary and the Australian position of departmental secretary. Associate deputy ministers are deputy ministers in waiting, often assigned to a specific project or initiative pending appointment to lead a department.
