What it is

Established in 1909 as the Department of External Affairs under Prime Minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier, it initially operated from an office above a barbershop in Ottawa. In 2013, the institution integrated the Canadian International Development Agency to unify diplomacy, commerce, and aid under a single mandate.
