Ministry of Government Services (Quebec)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ministry of Government Services (French: Ministère des Services gouvernementaux) was a government department in the Canadian province of Quebec. It oversaw the public service and facilitated citizen interaction with the government.[citation needed]

The department was overseen by the Minister of Government Services, who was a member of the Executive Council of Quebec. Before 2003, ministers who oversaw this department were styled as "minister of state for administration and the public service" and "minister responsible for administration and the public service."[citation needed]

In 2011, bill 130 abolished this ministry in order to cut on government expenditures.[1]

Service Aérien Gouvernemental

[edit]

Service Aérien Gouvernemental operated aerial firefighting aircraft against forest fires in the province. It had a fleet of 8 Bombardier 415 water bombers. This service is now part of Transports Québec.
