Priorities and Planning Committee

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Priorities and Planning Committee is a key organ of the Cabinet of Canada. Usually chaired by the Prime Minister of Canada, this committee sets and guides the agenda of the government and in some cases acts for the whole cabinet.

As of August 14, 2007, the members of the committee are Stephen Harper (chair), Lawrence Cannon (vice-chair), David Emerson, Marjory LeBreton, Peter Gordon MacKay, Stockwell Day, Vic Toews, Jim Prentice, John Baird, Maxime Bernier, Tony Clement and Jim Flaherty.[1]

Most provinces and territories of Canada have a similar body within their cabinets.
