Disclosure
of 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.
This
web site provides information on the travel and hospitality expenses
incurred within the National Round Table on the Environment and
the Economy by senior level employees.
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 on this web site will be updated every three months,
beginning on March 31, 2004.
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.
