Ministry of Government Services (Quebec)
Government department, abolished 2011
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ministry of Government Services (French: Ministère des Services gouvernementaux) was a government department in the Canadian province of Quebec. It oversaw the public service and facilitated citizen interaction with the government.[citation needed]
The department was overseen by the Minister of Government Services, who was a member of the Executive Council of Quebec. Before 2003, ministers who oversaw this department were styled as "minister of state for administration and the public service" and "minister responsible for administration and the public service."[citation needed]
In 2011, bill 130 abolished this ministry in order to cut on government expenditures.[1]
