This is an incomplete list of Royal Commissions appointed by the Sovereign in Right of Canada. Royal Commissions have been held in Canada since Confederation; they usually consist of a panel of experts appointed by the Governor-in-Council to carry out full investigations of specific national problems. When the investigation is complete, the findings of the commission are reported to the Cabinet for appropriate action.[1] The Crown in right of each province can also appoint a Royal Commission, although they are not included in this list.
Since 1867, Canada has had over 200 Royal Commissions. These commissions are searchable in the index to Federal Royal Commissions.
