About the King's Privy Council

About the Queen's Privy Council

 

The King’s Privy Council for Canada is the group of cabinet ministers, former cabinet ministers and other prominent Canadians appointed to advise the King on issues of importance to the country. This includes both issues of state and constitutional affairs.

The Governor General appoints each privy councillor on the advice of the Prime Minister. Membership is for life, unless the Governor General withdraws the appointment – again on the Prime Minister’s advice.

The King’s Privy Council for Canada consists of:

  • Cabinet ministers
  • Former cabinet ministers
  • The Chief Justice of Canada
  • Former chief justices
  • Former speakers of the House of Commons
  • Former speakers of the Senate
  • Former Governors General
  • Distinguished individuals (as a mark of honour)

The King’s Privy Council for Canada was first established by the British North America Act, 1867 (later renamed the Constitution Act, 1867). It has been adding members ever since.

The King’s Privy Council in Practice

The King’s Privy Council for Canada is also sometimes called His Majesty’s Privy Council for Canada. More informally, it is referred to as the Privy Council.

The entire Privy Council almost never meets. Usually, only ministers and a handful of non-ministers attend the rare ceremonial occasions when the Privy Council is asked to gather. Some examples of these occasions include:

  • The proclamation of a new King or Queen
  • A request for consent to a royal marriage

The last formal gathering of the King’s Privy Council for Canada was in 1981. The Privy Council was asked to give its formal consent to the marriage of the Prince of Wales to Lady Diana Spencer.

Interesting facts

  • First Members From Outside the Ministry
    • 1891 – The first privy councillors were appointed from outside the ministry. These included:
      • Two former speakers of the House of Commons
      • Three former speakers of the Senate
  • First Meeting Before the Sovereign
    • 1957 – The Privy Council met before the Sovereign (Queen Elizabeth II) for the first time (Ottawa, October 14, 1957).
    • 1957 – The first ‘swearing-in’ of a councillor before the Sovereign. This was the summoning of the Queen’s consort, Prince Philip.
  • First Woman Privy Councillor
    • 1957 – the Right Honourable Ellen Fairclough became the first woman summoned to the Privy Council (June 21, 1957). She held the position of Secretary of State.
  • Other Meetings Before the Sovereign
    • 1959 – The Privy Council met before Queen Elizabeth II in Halifax to confirm the appointment of the Right Honourable Georges Vanier as Governor General.
  • Largest Informal Meeting
    • 1982 – The largest informal gathering of the Privy Council took place at a luncheon on Parliament Hill (April 17, 1982.) They were celebrating the Queen’s signing of the proclamation of the Constitution Act, 1982.
  • Arranging a Meeting with the King
    • For the Prime Minister to propose that the King hold a meeting of the Privy Council while he was in Canada, the Privy Council Office would first have to clear the agenda with Buckingham Palace. It would then co-operate with Government House to arrange the details of the meeting.
