Minister of Crown–Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs

The Minister of Crown–Indigenous Relations (French: ministre des relations couronne-autochtones) is a minister of the Crown in the Canadian Cabinet who administers Crown–Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada (CIRNAC), the department of the Government of Canada which is responsible for administering the Indian Act and other legislation dealing with "Indians and lands reserved for the Indians" under subsection 91(24) of the Constitution Act, 1867. The minister is also more broadly responsible for overall relations between the federal government and First Nations, Métis, and Inuit.

The current version of the position was created alongside the Minister of Indigenous Services, who administers Indigenous Services Canada, the department responsible for health care, water, and other services to Indigenous communities when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on August 28, 2017, that the federal government intended to abolish the Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada department. Before 1996, and from 2018 to 2024, responsibility for northern affairs was held by a separate Minister of Northern Affairs. The positions were consolidated on December 20, 2024, with Minister of Crown–Indigenous Relations Gary Anandasangaree becoming Minister of Crown–Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs.
