Principal Secretary (Canada)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Canada the Principal Secretary is a senior aide, often the most senior political aide, to a head of government. Formerly the position of Principal Secretary was the most senior in the Canadian Prime Minister's Office, though since 1987 it is second to the Chief of Staff. Most Canadian provincial Premiers also have a principal secretary.
