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 RCMP External Review Committee by senior level employees at
the Deputy Minister, Associate Deputy Minister, Assistant Deputy Minister, and
equivalent levels.
The rules and principles governing travel are outlined in the 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 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.
