The NCC reports to the Parliament of Canada through whichever minister in the Cabinet of Canada is designated responsible for the National Capital Act, currently the Minister of Canadian Heritage.
context_section_description: The NCC is the responsibility of the Minister of Public Works and Procurement, currently Anita Anand. It is governed by the National Capital Act, which explains the boundaries of the National Capital Region in great detail. Its headquarters are in the Chambers Building on Elgin Street, between Queen and Sparks Streets.
  In the 28th Canadian Ministry, under Stephen Harper the NCC reported to Parliament through the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and then through senior Ottawa-area cabinet ministers, the last of whom was Pierre Poilievre.
  Since April 2016, the mayors of Ottawa and Gatineau have held non-voting ex officio seats on the board.
