Title change

While the department is still called Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, the minister's title is now Minister of Public Safety [1]. Unless someone gives me a reason not to, I will shortly make sure Wikipedia reflects this. Escheffel 15:05, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that the minister's title changed back at some point and the department appears to simply be "Public Safety Canada". As recently as May 2015, if not later, the current minister, Stephen Blaney, is referred to in the Prime Minister's news releases as “Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness”, or sparingly as "Public Safety Minister Stephen Blaney".

The Public Safety Canada website describes “Our Minister”:

The Honourable Steven Blaney

Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, MP for Lévis-Bellechasse (Quebec)

Requested move 30 August 2015

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: moved. If anyone wants to make the old title a set index they should feel free. Jenks24 (talk) 02:55, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Minister of Public Safety → Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness – The Prime Minister's news releases and the Public Safety Canada website identify the Minister's title as “Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness”
It appears that it was back in 2010, in the days of Vic Toews, that he was simply the “Minister of Public Safety”; circumstances since this edit/move in 2010 appear to have changed (and likely will again in a couple months). — Wikierroneous 02:59, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment after the move, "Minister of Public Safety" should become a set index, because the Feds are not the only people with such a minister, there's one in BC for instance[2], and New Brunswick[3], and in Bermnuda[4], and Greece[5], and Panama[6], etc. -- 67.70.32.190 (talk) 06:25, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Weird redirects

How come "Public Safety Minister" redirects to "Minister of Justice"? It should redirect here. 72.38.202.14 (talk) 12:04, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Is this article about the title, or the person who currently holds that title?

At present, one person serves all three roles; it's not clear if this is an inherent trait of the interconnectedness of these roles, or if this is a case of a single person who happens to be wearing multiple hats. If it's the former, then it absolutely makes sense to have a single article describing the single joint office. If it's the latter, then I would argue that it would be more reasonable to maintain separate articles focused on each role, and mention that, at present, the same person is fulfilling all three roles.Goosnarrggh (talk) 13:21, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
