A policy on the mandatory publication of travel and hospitality expenses for selected government officials became effective December 12,
2003
This web site provides information on the travel and hospitality expenses
incurred within the Privy Council Office by our Ministers, Parliamentary
Secretaries, and their exempt staff, and by senior level employees at the Deputy
Minister, Associate Deputy Minister, Assistant Deputy Minister, and equivalent
levels.
The rules and principles governing travel are outlined in the Guidelines
for Ministers' Offices and in Treasury Board's Travel
Directive and Special
Travel Authorities. The purpose of these directives is to provide
for the reimbursement of reasonable expenses necessarily incurred during travel
on government business.
The Government of Canada extends hospitality in accordance with the rules and
principles outlined in the Guidelines for Ministers' Offices and the Treasury
Board Hospitality
Policy. The objective of the policy is to ensure that hospitality
is extended in an economical and affordable way when it facilitates government
business or is considered desirable as a matter of courtesy and protocol.
The information posted is for the period from December 12, 2003 to September 1, 2006.
Please note that information that would normally be withheld under the Access
to Information Act or the Privacy Act does not appear on this web
site.
