The Federal Secretariat or Secretariat (Coast Salish: Thi lelum s'uqéluxw), sometimes mistakenly called the Cabinet, was the chief executive body of the now-defunct sovereign state, the Salish Confederation. It consisted of the Federal Chancellor and secretariat ministers. The fundamentals of the secretariat's organization as well as the method of its election and appointment as well as the procedure for its dismissal were set down in Article 4 of the Constitution of the Salish Confederation.
The Secretariat was appointed at the whim of the Chancellor who was chosen by the Parliament, however both the Chancellor and Secretariat must retain the confidence of Parliament as individual ministers; who may be charged with impeachment and removed from office upon conviction by Parliament sitting as jurors. The Chancellor and the other members of the secretariat must be sitting members of the Parliament.
The Chancellor was the chief executive leader of the Secretariat. Therefore, the whole secretariat's tenure was linked to the Chancellor's tenure, and will end if the Chancellor's (and the secretariat's) term automatically ends, if the Chancellor was impeached, resigns, or dies; or if the Chancellor's term was extended by Parliament. The Chancellor was responsible for guiding the secretariat and deciding its political direction. According to the principle of departmentalization, the secretariat ministers are free to carry out their duties independently within the boundaries set by the Chancellor's political directives. The Chancellor may at any time dismiss a minister or to appoint a new minister. The Chancellor's freedom to shape their secretariat was only limited by some constitutional provisions; where the Chancellor cannot serve as a minister themselves, and the primary Federal Ministers of the secretariat cannot serve in one of the other portfolios at that level.
It was superceded by the Cabinet of the Evergreen Republic, and partially in spirit by the Provincial Secretariat of British Columbia.
The final and 27th secretariat of the Salish Confederation upon dissolution of the Confederation was the 4th FroyourFilms Secretariat, which served from 1 February 2022 to 14 February 2022.
