Each box represents a portfolio. Cabinet Ministers are
shown in bold type. As a general rule, there is one department in each portfolio.
Except for the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, the Department of Foreign
Affairs and Trade and the Department of Communications and the Arts, the title of each
department reflects that of the portfolio minister. There is also a Department of
Veterans’ Affairs in the Defence portfolio.
