Hyperlinking Policy:

Links to Web sites not under the control of the Government of Canada (GoC) are provided solely for the convenience of users. The GoC is not responsible for the accuracy, currency or the reliability of the content. The GoC does not offer any guarantee in that regard and is not responsible for the information found through these links, nor does it endorse the sites and their contents.

Users should be aware that information offered by non-GoC sites that are not subject to the Official Languages Act and to which the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat links, may be available only in the language(s) used by the sites in question.

Federal Government Websites are indicated by the maple leaf image.

This policy is meant to provide:

the reasons for inclusion of content, specifically links that appear on the Human Resources Management (HRM) web site;

the appropriate linking practices with respect to the HRM web site.

Links to this site will be allowed subject to the following criteria:

the pages on the HRM web site will not be loaded into frames on other sites; entire pages will load into the users' window so that users know they are viewing content from the HRM web site;

content from this site will be used "as is" and no fees will be charged for access to it; and

no logos, trademarks or other Government of Canada's marks will be used in the link you post without the Government of Canada's permission.

Decisions to post links on this site will be subject to the following criteria:

content of sites to be linked must be relevant to the purpose and objectives of this site;

content of sites to be linked must be current, accurate and add significant value to this site's content;

content of sites to be linked must be in compliance with the laws of Canada, including all relevant privacy, human rights and labour legislation;

content of sites to be linked must not be offensive, lewd or malicious; and

sites to be linked must allow users to navigate back to the present site; they cannot block the user's return to this site by imbedding code within the linked page that will prevent the use of the browser "back" button.

Also note that:

preference will be given to links with bilingual content; however, links may be made to unilingual sites that add significant value not found on existing bilingual sites;

preference will also be given to those sites that provide uninterrupted, free access to users;

for links within the Post Jobs/Search Resumes section, preference will be given to sites of national scope;

posting of links may be refused or following periodic review, terminated without notice, for failure to comply with these criteria or for any other appropriate reason including:
- site navigation problems; or
- lack of resources to maintain and monitor content;

links are provided for convenience purposes only and are not an endorsement or rating of the content of sites to which they are made;

links may not always work as we do not control the availability of linked pages.

Businesses and organizations interested in placing a link on the HRM cluster are invited to contact the web site administrator at the following address: hrm-grh@hrdc-drhc.gc.ca. Requests for linking should include an explanation of how the proposed link can contribute to the enhancement of the HRM web site, as well as a return address and contact name.
