Role of the Commissioner

There is a Commissioner for each territory, responsible for the administration of the Government of that territory. Each Commissioner is appointed as a representative of the Government of Canada (unlike the provinces, territories do not have a vice-regal representative of Her Majesty the Queen), by the Governor General-in-Council. The Commissioner acts on the orders of the Governor General-in-Council, and the Honourable John Duncan, P.C., M.P., the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development.
