Now, could someone explain to me the meaning of the provisions in section 3 and I quote:

3. The Minister is responsible for exercising leadership relating to emergency management in Canada [...]

As you can see it doesn't say “in the Government of Canada”, but “in Canada”.

Then what is the extent of the lead role played by the Minister in the management of emergencies in Canada?

See context to find out what was said next.
