加拿大艾伯特省的Provincial Secretary怎么翻译？

这应该是与法律事务相关的一个职务，因为Deputy Provincial Secretary’s office存放着全省公证员的档案，请高手解答，谢谢！

商榷：秘书处应该不是很准确，Provincial Secretary明显是一个职务，因为首字母大写，而且Provincial Secretary前面可加Deputy，也就是它的副职，如果Secretary是指秘书的话显然不需要大写首字母，而且不存在副秘书这个说法。

问题已解决，如下：
Provincial Secretary(省务卿)在加拿大邦联(1867年)之前，省内地位仅次于Lieutenant-Governor(省总督)，但实际上是一省的头号掌权者。


感谢“走到末路”的热心帮助！！！

省秘书处

请看我的参考

给你看个权威的英文的解释

其实就是秘书处的意思啊，但是中文好像没有官方统一的翻译。

The Provincial Secretary was a senior position in the executive councils of British North America's colonial governments, and was retained by the Canadian provincial governments for at least a century after Canadian Confederation was proclaimed in 1867. The position has been abolished in all provinces in recent decades (most recently by British Columbia in 2000) with the exception of Saskatchewan where it still exists but is no longer a senior portfolio.

The position existed prior to Confederation in the Province of Canada (as well as in the previous provinces of Upper Canada and Lower Canada) and the various governments in Atlantic Canada under British rule, though in Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island the title was Colonial Secretary. British Columbia also had a Colonial Secretary prior to becoming a province of Canada in 1871. Before the granting of responsible government and the emergence of the position of Premier, the Provincial Secretary was the leading position in the executive councils appointed by the various governors and lieutenant-governors of British North America. Frequently, Provincial Secretaries during these periods were the most powerful elected representatives in their jurisdictions.

The Provincial Secretary was the equivalent of the former Canadian Cabinet position of Secretary of State for Canada. Like its federal counterpart it included an eclectic variety of responsibilities that were not assigned to other ministers, most of which would eventually evolve into portfolios of their own. In Nova Scotia, where the position originated in 1720, the Provincial Secretary was also the treasurer of the province until 1946. The provincial secretary was also responsible for official communications between the provincial government and the Colonial Office in London as well as with other provincial and colonial governments (and after 1867 the federal government). As well, the position also included various duties related to ceremonial occasions, visits by dignitaries, protocol, relations between the government and the office of lieutenant-governor and commemorative events particularly in relation to the monarchy.

Generally, the Provincial Secretary acted as a province's Registrar-General and was responsible for formal documents and records such as licences, birth and death certificates, land registries and surveys, business registrations and writs. As well, the position was generally responsible for the administration of the civil service and of elections. Provincial secretaries were usually the most senior member of the provincial cabinet outside of the Premier, and the office holder was often designated as Acting Premier when the Premier was out of province, ill or otherwise unavailable.

The position of Provincial Secretary was particularly important in Manitoba from 1870 to 1874, as that province's institutions were being established. The province had no Premier during this period, and its Lieutenant-Governors acted as the de facto leaders of government. The early Provincial Secretaries (including Alfred Boyd and Henry Joseph Clarke) were the most prominent elected officials in the province, and are retroactively regarded as Premiers in many modern sources.

The Provincial Secretary continued to oversee miscellaneous government activities into the twentieth-century (Nova Scotia's Public Service Act conferred to the position responsibility for all matters not specifically assigned to any other minister). Frequently, twentieth-century Provincial Secretaries would concurrently hold other cabinet portfolios.

支持楼上 秘书是secretary就是秘书的意思 province是省会的意思 provincial就是它的形容词，就是省的 连起来就是省秘书处了！~~~ 再看看别人怎么说的。

根据这个意思理解的话，应该是类似于省事务官员之类的官职。 准确的偶确实不知道。
