The Department of Foreign Affairs, also referred to as Foreign Affairs Canada, is the department of the government of Canada with responsibility for foreign policy and diplomacy. The department is headquartered in the Lester B. Pearson Building in Ottawa.


The Department of Foreign Affairs was created in December 2003 from the former Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade in a federal government reorganization.


As of 2005, legislative changes to legally remove DFAIT from the books and establish a Department of Foreign Affairs have yet to be enacted.
