Lord Willingdon first started the practice of having his Private Secretary by his side at these meetings. Later, this practice continued and in November, , the Viceroy's Private Secretary was given the additional designation of Secretary to the Executive Council. But these posts were separated subsequently, and a separate Secretary was appointed to the Executive Council as distinct from the Private Secretary to the Viceroy and Governor General.
Constitution of the Interim Government in September brought a change in the name of this Office. It seems, however, at least in retrospect, that Independence brought a sort of change in the functions of the Cabinet Secretariat. It no longer remained concerned with only the work of circulating papers to Ministers and Ministries, but developed into an organisation for effecting coordination between the Ministries.
The Cabinet Secretariat functions directly under the Prime Minister. Management of major crisis situations in the country and coordinating activities of various ministries in such a situation is also one of the functions of the Cabinet Secretariat.
Cabinet Secretariat also employs Cabinet Officers individuals on secondment for professional development from elsewhere in the public service who provide policy support to Cabinet and its committees and officials with responsibility for information management, access to information and protection of privacy matters, and administrative support. The Secretariat provides executive leadership to ensure effective and efficient operation of the Cabinet decision-making processes through liaison with ministers and departmental executives; generation of objective policy analysis; preparation of briefing materials; coordination and facilitation of meetings of Cabinet and its committees except the Treasury Board ; accurate recording of Cabinet decisions; and, communication of Cabinet decisions for successful implementation by departments.
Cabinet Secretariat also coordinates the legislative agenda by supporting the Government House Leader and working with the Office of the Legislative Counsel to ensure that bills for consideration in the House of Assembly are prepared in accordance with the decisions of Cabinet and ready for introduction into the House of Assembly, when required; and monitoring the progress of bills and Royal Assent, as well as ensuring proclamation procedures are followed. Cabinet Secretariat ensures effective flow of information on matters that involve the Lieutenant Governor and the Premier, such as the installation of the Lieutenant Governor; the delivery of the Speech from the Throne by the Lieutenant Governor; the opening or prorogation of the House of Assembly by the Lieutenant Governor; and swearing-in ceremonies for ministers in the Cabinet.
The Provincial Protocol Office in Cabinet Secretariat provides consultative and operational assistance in the organization and management of VIP visits, government ceremonial events, conferences, public events and hospitality functions.
Cabinet Secretariat also assists in ceremonial duties related to the selection and presentation of honorary awards such as the Order of Newfoundland and Labrador and the Newfoundland and Labrador Award for Bravery. The division also ensures that all employees are informed of departmental and general government guidelines and procedures relating to the above services. Cabinet Secretariat ensures that the Office of the Executive Council has proper information management policies and processes and arranges for appropriate access to highly-classified information systems to facilitate the exchange of confidential documents to support the Premier and Cabinet.
