President of the Queens Privy Council for Canada

In the Canadian cabinet, the president of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada is nominally in charge of the Privy Council Office.

Accordingly, the last time the president of the Privy Council had to preside over a meeting of the Privy Council was in 1981 on the occasion of Charles, Prince of Wales' engagement to Lady Diana Spencer.
