text: # Department of Intergovernmental Affairs
  
  In many Canadian provinces, a Department of Intergovernmental Affairs or a Ministry of Intergovernmental Affairs is a cabinet-level agency charged with relations between the province and other provinces, the federal government and, in some cases, foreign governments.
  
  The federal government appoints a Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, but this minister does not head an independent department, being instead a member of the Privy Council Office.
