Role


The Canadian Cabinet is arranged into several committees with varying responsibilities, but all other ones are informal structures and frequently change. Currently organised under the Financial Administration Act,[2] the Treasury Board is the only one created by law and is officially a committee of the Privy Council. Its role in government makes it far more powerful than most Cabinet committees as it is responsible for "accountability and ethics, financial, personnel and administrative management, comptrollership, approving regulations and most Orders-in-Council".[3] It is also unique in that its committee chair, the President of the Treasury Board, is a member of cabinet by virtue of holding that office—other cabinet committees are chaired by minister holding seats in cabinet by virtue of some other office. The Treasury Board is supported by the Treasury Board Secretariat.


The board is the only statutory Cabinet committee and is responsible for the federal civil service and much of the operation of the Canadian government.



Membership


The committee is composed of six cabinet ministers, always including its President and the Minister of Finance. The current members are as follows:


  • Chair: Scott Brison, President of the Treasury Board

  • Vice-Chair: Navdeep Singh Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development


  • Bill Morneau, Minister of Finance


  • Jane Philpott, Minister of Indigenous Services


  • Jean-Yves Duclos, Minister of Families, Children and Social Development


  • François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of International Trade

There are also five "alternate members", who attend Treasury Board meetings in the event of conflicts of interest; these are currently the following:



  • Lawrence MacAulay, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food


  • Bardish Chagger, Leader of the Government in the House of Commons


  • Jim Carr, Minister of Natural Resources


  • Amarjeet Sohi, Minister of Infrastructure and Communities


  • Maryam Monsef, Minister of Status of Women

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
