Ms. Sandy Tremblay (Director, Corporate Management, Office of the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner) at the Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics Committee

Salaries account for about 85% of our budget, so we start from that. The non-salary budget is not that high.

Basically, I meet with every director. We look at our strategic plan for the upcoming year just to see what's required, what's in the plan. We also go from the expenses in the previous year and we manage from that. Madame is involved throughout the whole process, as well as all the directors within all the divisions.
