Human Resources Development Canada
Human Resources Development Canada
(HRDC) was a
department
of the
Cabinet of Canada
. It was divided into two departments,
Social Development Canada
and
Human Resources and Skills Development Canada
, by
Prime Minister
Paul Martin
in
2003
The ministry was first created in
1993
as part of
Kim Campbell
's attempts to decrease the size of the federal cabinet, its creation was probably the most lasting action taken by her short-lived administration. It merged many of Canada's social programs into one department. This new department had one of the largest budgets and wide ranging responsibilities. The ministry became famous in
2000
for its poor accounting practices when the
Canadian Alliance
alleged a billion dollars worth of employment grants could not be accounted for. The ministry was dissolved mostly because of the lasting taint from this scandal. See also

. HRDC was based, and its successors still are, at the government facilities at
Tunney's Pasture
in
Ottawa
.
