Amongst federal secretaries, the Cabinet Secretary is considered as the senior-most secretary and for this reason the Cabinet Secretary heads the Secretaries’ Committee. During the federal cabinet meetings, the Cabinet Secretary sits on the right-hand side of the Prime Minister.[1][2]

The Cabinet Secretary is the only officer, alongside the Establishment Secretary, who has a direct say in the promotion of civil servants to grade 20, 21 and to the elite rank of grade 22.[3][4]
