Federal

The federal government is the main governing body in Canada, and there are numerous documents related to its activities that are of historical significance. These documents include official records such as parliamentary transcripts, government reports, and cabinet meeting minutes, as well as personal letters, diaries, and photographs of government officials and politicians. Many of these documents are housed in national archives and libraries, where they serve as important resources for researchers, historians, and the general public interested in learning about Canada's political history and the development of its federal system of government. They provide valuable insights into the decision-making processes and policies of the federal government, as well as the personalities and perspectives of the individuals who have held positions of power and influence in Canadian politics.
