This is a list of Canadian royal commissions or commissions of inquiry since Confederation. In Canada, royal commissions and commissions of inquiry are official Government inquiries into matters of national concern, either in order to look into an important general issue or to fully investigate a specific incident. They are appointed by the Governor in Council (Cabinet) according to the Inquiries Act, and consist of a panel of distinguished individuals, experts, or judges. The terms of reference for the commission and the powers and the names of the commissioners are officially stated by an Order-in-Council. Once their task is complete, the findings of the commission are reported to Cabinet and the Prime Minister for appropriate action. The Crown in right of each province can also appoint a royal commission, although they are not included in this list. Federal inquiries are limited to matters within the constitutional jurisdiction of the Parliament of Canada. They can only look at issues within provincial jurisdiction that are connected to federal jurisdiction, such as policing on-reserve, child welfare on-reserve, etc. While a commission's findings and recommendations are non-binding, many have a significant impact on public opinion and the shape of public policy. Other types of federal public inquiries include task forces and departmental investigations. Since the 1991–1996 Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples, commissions have more commonly been referred to as Commissions of Inquiry. From Confederation till 2013, there have been almost 450 federal commissions of inquiry with and without the royal title; more than 1500 departmental investigations; and an undetermined number of task forces. Commissions are often referred to by the name of the chairperson or commissioner(s). For example, a commission headed by John Doe may commonly be known as the "Doe Commission".
