The department is responsible for the procurement for other government departments and serves as the central purchasing agent, real property manager, treasurer, accountant, pay and pension administrator, integrity adviser and linguistic authority; it was recognized in 2018 as one of Canada's Best Diversity Employers.[2] It is also the custodian of a large real estate portfolio and as well infrastructure such as bridges, dams and highways.
