The current minister of national revenue is Élisabeth Brière who took office on December 20, 2024.
[6] The responsibility for collecting taxes was first assigned to the minister of inland revenue, formed in 1867.
Between 1892 and 1897, during the 7th Canadian Parliament, the portfolio was considered to be only of the ministry, but not the Cabinet, and was thus referred to as the controller of inland revenue during that time.
[7][8] The minister of inland revenue title returned after 1897 and remained until the office was formally abolished.
[9] In 2003, the CCRA was split into the Canada Revenue Agency and the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), the latter falling under the public safety and emergency preparedness portfolio.
