This sub-sub-series contains correspondence addressed to the Prime Minister of Canada and forwarded through the Privy Council Office, which tracks Canada's diplomatic relations and its involvement on the world scene in various spheres of human activity (i.e. relations, problems or agreements between the federal and provincial governments; relations between the federal authorities and certain minorities such as aboriginal peoples, etc.; and relations between the Prime Minister and the business, financial or industrial communities).

This correspondence thus covers a wide range of topics: federal-provincial politics; the Chrétien government (support and criticism); the state of Canada's economy and finances, i.e. the budget, the deficit and employment; industry and commerce; international trade; transportation; national defence; justice; social policy, i.e. poverty, family allowance, seniors, etc.; immigration; health and well-being; arts and culture; aboriginal affairs; the environment; multiculturalism; the status of women; official languages and bilingualism; science and technology, etc.

This sub-sub-series also contains a great deal of diplomatic correspondence with various heads of state. Whether congratulations for an election, official visit invitations, thank you letters following official functions, or expressions of sympathy following tragic events, the full range of diplomatic relations seems to be covered.

Lastly, the sub-sub-series contains a considerable number of letters from: the heads of various Canadian enterprises and financial institutions; members of various lobbies, associations and non-governmental organizations (i.e. humanitarian organizations, women's groups, ethnic minority groups and associations, aboriginal associations and band councils, unions, farm organizations, etc.); the Governor General of Canada; Senators; secretaries of state; federal Ministers; provincial Premiers and Cabinet Ministers; members of the House of Commons and various provincial legislative assemblies; the Solicitor General of Canada; mayors and city administrators; representatives of federal and provincial political parties; ministers and members of various religious communities; Canadian university chancellors and professors; lawyers and judges; foreign heads of state; and ambassadors, embassy delegates and consuls from various countries.

The Privy Council Office's Executive Correspondence Unit (ECU) is in charge of processing mail addressed to the Prime Minister in his capacity as head of government, or bearing his signature.

Most correspondence to the Privy Council Office is sent from foreign heads of state, provincial Premiers, federal Cabinet Ministers, politicians or diplomats, business leaders, etc. It often concerns diplomatic issues, sensitive subjects or government policy. The Privy Council Office advises the Prime Minister and his staff via memos for each piece of correspondence, which provide background information on the topic and advice on how to draft a reply. The Privy Council Office's Executive Correspondence Unit (ECU) thus works closely with the staff of the Correspondence Unit of the Office of the Prime Minister, to oversee the quality of replies and ensure deadlines are met.

We should also note that personal or political mail (i.e. mail that concerns riding-related business, political issues of interest to the party, or the Prime Minister's private or personal life) is forwarded to the staff of the Correspondence Unit of the Office of the Prime Minister. Such correspondence is also found in the Political and Personal Correspondence sub-sub-series, Prime Minister's Correspondence sub-series, Correspondence Unit of the Office of the Prime Minister series.

However, it is also likely that certain letters from the same correspondent are stored in other sub-sub-series containing correspondence from the Prime Minister's Office. To this end, it may be useful to consult the finding aids for the Office of the Prime Minister - Correspondence series.

Lastly, all the documents in this sub-sub-series are copies. The originals have likely remained in the custody of the Privy Council Office.

This sub-sub-series consists of records originally classified in numerical order using numbers generated by the Correspondence and Issues Management System (CS-CIMS). Each record is affiliated with a piece of correspondence from an individual. In processing this sub-sub-series the archivists arranged, in the same folder, a number of pieces of correspondence matching several of the CS-CIMS numbers. Each piece of correspondence is separated from the others by a blank sheet of legal-size paper.

The Privy Council Office's Executive Correspondence of the Prime Minister team also attached a memo to each piece of correspondence indicating the PCO's recommendations, and the Office of the Prime Minister - Correspondence management team attached a control sheet. In addition to information on the correspondent and the topic of correspondence, these sheets are annotated by Privy Council Office and Prime Minister's Office staff (which makes it easier to understand decisions and follow-up procedures).

Lastly, it is important to note that the first documents in this sub-sub-series are from the period when the Right Honourable Brian Mulroney and then the Right Honourable Kim Campbell were in power. File 1079, 6, also includes correspondence on the transition of power between Kim Campbell and Jean Chrétien, particularly concerning access to records (especially those in the custody of the Privy Council Office).
