Minister of Multiculturalism and Citizenship (Canada)
The Minister of Multiculturalism and Citizenship was an office in the Cabinet of Canada from 1991 to 1996. In 1996, and again in 2015, it was superseded by the Minister of Canadian Heritage. Prior to 1991, Citizenship was under the Secretary of State for Canada. On August 16, 2013, the multiculturalism portfolio, nominally under the Minister of Canadian Heritage, was assigned to the Hon. Jason Kenney who was appointed Minister for Multiculturalism in addition to his other portfolios.[1]
On November 4, 2015, Justin Trudeau's 29th Canadian Ministry was sworn in and the role of the Minister for Multiculturalism once again fell under the Minister of Canadian Heritage, now Mélanie Joly.[1]
