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 and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the title of each department reflects that of the portfolio minister. There is also a Department of Veterans' Affairs in the Defence portfolio. Two Parliamentary Secretaries have been appointed as Assistant Ministers.
