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 of senior FINTRAC
officials. The information on this web site will be updated every three months.
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.
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.
