The Honourable Carla Qualtrough, P.C., M.P.
Minister of Public Services and Procurement and Accessibility, and
Minister responsible for Shared Services Canada
Government of Canada
2019
The Government of Canada formed SSC by joining IT budgets, systems and personnel from 43 of the largest federal departments and agencies. We are responsible for operating and modernizing the Government of Canada’s IT infrastructure across the public sector. Our mandate is to deliver email, data centre and telecommunications services to federal departments and agencies. We also provide services related to cyber and IT security and the purchase of
workplace technology devices, as well as offering other optional services to government
departments and agencies on a cost-recovery basis.
Canadians expect to receive government services in their preferred format—wherever they are—
and whenever they want them. This has led the Government of Canada to focus on offering
digital services that are available anytime, on any device, through any communication channel.
As the provider of these service platforms, SSC assists customer organizations in serving
Canadians more effectively.
