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.
