King's Privy Council for Canada, Government advisory body in Ottawa, Canada
The King's Privy Council for Canada functions as a constitutional advisory assembly, providing guidance to the monarch on state matters through appointed members.
The British North America Act of 1867 established this institution as part of Canada's governmental framework during the confederation of provinces.
Members of the Council receive distinctive honorific titles and post-nominal letters, reflecting the formal structure of Canadian governmental institutions.
The Council manages appointments for government roles across agencies, boards, commissions, and judicial offices through its administrative division.
Queen Elizabeth II presided over a Council meeting in 1957, where she appointed Prince Philip while simultaneously approving an order-in-council.
