	Parliamentary Secretary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		In the parliamentary systems of several Commonwealth countries, such as Canada and Australia, it is customary for the prime minister to appoint parliamentary secretaries (in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, "parliamentary assistants") from their caucus to assist cabinet ministers with their work.
		The position of parliamentary secretary existed in the Irish Free State and in 1978 was replaced by the office of Minister of State, in each case typically several such offices were assigned in a government.
		During Jean Chrétien's term as Prime Minister of Canada, parliamentary secretaries were set to two-year terms and the post was used as a reward for weary backbenchers.
