The specific name of the ministerial designation has changed many times since the position was introduced in 1961. It was originally known as the Minister of Amateur Sport. The position was then relegated to the status of Minister of State in 1976, only to return as a full cabinet position in 2015. That year, the title was changed to "Minister of Sport and Persons with Disabilities" following the appointment of Carla Qualtrough and the addition of the responsibility toward disability in Canada to the portfolio.,[3] and the Minister of Science and Sport when Kirsty Duncan assumed the role.
After the 2019 Canadian federal election, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau did not appoint a Minister for Sport, passing on this responsibility to the Minister of Canadian Heritage.
