Mr. Speaker, with regard to parts (i) to (vii), Invest in Canada undertook an extensive preliminary search to determine the amount of information that would fall within the scope of the question and the amount of time that would be required to prepare a comprehensive response. Invest in Canada concluded that producing and validating a comprehensive response to this question is not possible in the time allotted and could lead to the disclosure of incomplete and misleading information.
Invest in Canada is governed by a board of directors whose representatives are primarily from the private sector. The board of directors is responsible for supervising and managing the Invest in Canada hub’s business and affairs and for advising the minister and the chief executive officer on matters relating to the Invest in Canada hub’s mandate. Board members are appointed by the Governor in Council.
The total number of members who have served on the board since 2018 is 15. The board and its committees meet virtually and in person three to four times annually.
Invest in Canada is guided by the guidelines and regulations set by the Treasury Board Secretariat for the management and governance of departmental corporations. The organization’s travel policy and hospitality policy articulate the travel parameters for the chief executive officer and the board.
