Travel and hospitality expenses
On December 12, 2003, the Prime Minister announced a new policy on the mandatory publication of travel and hospitality expenses for selected government officials.
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.
Reports on annual expenditures for travel, hospitality and conferences
As of July 1, 2018, all travel and hospitality expenses incurred by senior officials of the Commission are available on the Open Government Portal.
Contracts over $10,000
The rules and principles governing government contracting are outlined in the Treasury Board Directive on the Management of Procurement. The objective of government procurement contracting is to acquire goods and services, including construction services, in a manner that enhances access, competition and fairness and results in best value to Canada.
A list of all contracts over $10,000 from 2018 onwards to vendors by or on behalf of the Commission are now posted on the Open Government Portal.
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.
Position reclassifications
The Commission fully supports the government direction to publish on departmental websites the reclassification of positions.
The disclosure of position reclassification is based on classification decisions for occupied positions authorized during the reporting period. The Commission’s proactive disclosure reports on position reclassification are available on Canada’s Open Portal at Position Reclassifications. Position reclassification information is updated within 30 days after the end of each government fiscal year quarter.
