REFS: A. CBI 209.30 B. CFAO 209-13 C. TREASURY BOARD TRAVEL DIRECTIVE 1. A REVIEW OF THE BENEFIT HAS PROVEN THAT THERE IS CONFUSION REGARDING THE ADMINISTRATION OF SUBJECT MATTER. 2. THE PROBLEM ARISES WHEN A MBR RETURNS FROM TD OUTSIDE THE LOCAL AREA VIA AN AIRLINE THAT DOES NOT PROVIDE MEALS. THE MBR ARRIVES AT 1800HRS AND CONSUMES A DINNER WITHIN THE HQ AREA. IN THIS CASE PARA 5 OF REF A ND PARA 21 OF REF B APPLY AND THE MBR SHOULD RECEIVE THE FULL MEAL DINNER ENTITLEMENT WITHOUT HAVING TO PROVIDE A RECEIPT. IF THE MBR ARRIVED AT 16:30 HRS THEN OBVIOUSLY NO DINNER ENTITLEMENT WOULD APPLY. NOTWITHSTANDING, PARA 6.5.3 OF REF C STATES THAT MEALS TAKEN DURING PART DAYS IN TRAVEL STATUS ARE REIMBURSED IAW THE INDIVIDUAL MEAL RATES. 3. SOME UNITS HAVE BEEN INSISTING THAT THE MBR PROVIDE RECEIPT FOR THE DINNER IAW PARA 31 OF REF B WHICH REQUIRES A RECEIPT FOR TD IN THE VICINITY OF THE UNIT. THIS REGULATION IS STILL APPLICABLE AND APPLIES TO TD CONDUCTED IN THE LOCALITY OF THE MBRS S UNIT AND NOT FOR TD OUTSIDE THE LOCALITY. 4. TO CLARIFY FURTHER, PARA 4.7.3 (B) OF REF C REMAINS IN EFFECT. WHEN A CARRIER PROVIDES AN INAPPROPRIATE MEAL, THE TRAVELER CAN BE REIMBURSED FOR OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES TO SUPPLEMENT MEALS PROVIDED EN ROUTE BY CARRIER, WITH A RECEIPT. 5. QUERIES ON THIS MATTER MAY BE ADDRESSED TO CAPT D. LOWE AT (613) 996-0244. PLEASE DISSEMINATE ACCORDINGLY. D. LOWE CAPT, DCBA 3-4, 996-0244 J.B.J. TAILLEFER, LCOL, DCBA, 996-1874
