The minister of Indigenous services (French: ministre des services aux autochtones) is a minister of the Crown in the Canadian Cabinet. The minister is responsible for Indigenous Services Canada (ISC), the department of the Government of Canada which delivers federal government services to Indigenous peoples.
The position was created in 2017 by the Trudeau government when the Indian Affairs and Northern Development portfolio was abolished, taking over the management of health, clean water and other services. Together with the minister of Crown–Indigenous relations, the minister of Indigenous services administers agreements between the Canadian Crown and Indigenous peoples.[5]
