The Defence Portfolio
Main article: Minister of National Defence (Canada)The Canadian Forces are a distinct and separate entity from the Department of National Defence. The Minister of National Defence is responsible for the entire Defence Portfolio comprising several organisations, including the Canadian Forces, the Communications Security Establishment, Defence Research and Development Canada, and the Department of National Defence. The Department is not responsible for all of these organisations itself, but rather exists to support the minister in carrying out all of his duties within the Defence Portfolio.
