The Standards Council of Canada (SCC) reports to Parliament through the Minister of Industry.

The governing Council is comprised of 15 members, appointed by Order-in-Council, to represent a broad spectrum of stakeholder interests. It is responsible for setting the strategic direction of the organization, ensuring the fulfillment of SCC's mandate, and providing direction on governance matters. Council normally holds four meetings per year, including a strategic session.

Council standing committees, including the audit, governance and appointments committees, also play an important role in supporting governance approaches. A number of SCC advisory committees, which report to  Council, ensure that it has access to a wide variety of advice, information and viewpoints.

By-laws  guide the functioning of Council.
