The Minister for the purposes of the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency Act, more commonly the Minister for the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency or Minister of the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (French: Ministre de l'Agence de promotion économique du Canada atlantique), is the member of the Cabinet of Canada who also serves as the chief executive of the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA). The post is traditionally held by an MP from Atlantic Canada, although occasionally the responsibilities have been accorded to a more senior cabinet minister, such as the Industry minister who has in turn delegated some of the authority to a minister of state. Bernard Valcourt, MP for the federal riding of Madawaska—Victoria in New Brunswick, currently serves as the Minister for the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency. The Minister is also usually responsible for the Enterprise Cape Breton Corporation.
