Joe Clark was the only person to hold this post,[1] and Brian Mulroney was the only prime minister to assign a Cabinet minister in this area.

The position was sometimes informally called "unity minister" in sources such as media accounts. This same informal appellation was given to the subsequent position Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs.[citation needed]
