- Abstract
In 1984 significant changes were made in the institutions and procedures which support cabinet decision-making in the Government of Canada. The changes instituted by prime ministers Turner and Mulroney are summarized in the context of the evolution of the cabinet decision-making system since the Second World War. The principal ways in which the system put in place by Prime Minister Mulroney differ from that prevailing in the latter years of Prime Minister Trudeau's administration are described. The differences include: a larger cabinet; fewer cabinet committees; simplified procedures and fewer expenditure envelopes within the Policy and Expenditure Management System; the consolidation of public service support for cabinet committees within the Privy Council Office, the Treasury Board Secretariat and the Department of Finance; and changes in the interdepartmental consultation process.
