Government Operations committee That's correct. In terms of advertising costs, we publish on the Treasury Board Secretariat website, on a quarterly basis, what the planned expenditures are for certain types of campaigns. Currently we have posted quarter one expenditures. There were no quarter two planned expenditures.

Government Operations committee I don't have a formal opening statement. I thought I would give you the overview of the supplementary estimates and the main estimates for the Treasury Board Secretariat, if that is okay with you?
March 22nd, 2010Committee meeting
Michelle d'Auray
Government Operations committee The major changes in the Treasury Board Secretariat operating expenditures for the supplementary estimates are largely transfers from other departments to support the national employment equity councils and the national managers' community--that's $144,000--and $856,000 to support the financial interoperability and stewardship initiative for financial information systems.

Government Operations committee Madam Chair, no, the Treasury Board Secretariat does not have an oversight function over the Privy Council Office in this particular area or any other area.

Government Operations committee Mr. Smith wants to take that question.

Michelle d'Auray
Government Operations committee It is, strictly speaking, a transfer, because it is the amalgamation of the two organizations. For the funds to be reflected in Treasury Board Secretariat vote 1, operating funds, we have to demonstrate the transfer from CPSA vote 1 to Treasury Board vote 1 as the approval process from a parliamentary appropriations perspective.
December 3rd, 2009Committee meeting
Michelle d'Auray
Government Operations committee Madam Chair, there are some changes, and they were pronounced when the organizational changes were made by the Prime Minister in February 2009 and the office of the chief human resources officer was created. I was the first to hold that position, as of March 2. The main components of the change were to recognize the role of the deputy ministers in managing and being responsible for the management of people in their organizations.

Government Operations committee If I may, Madam Chair, only an additional $5 million has been requested for advertising in the supplementary estimates, and it is for the activities related to the home renovation tax credit program, and that is still going on because that can go on—

Government Operations committee If I may, one component of that advertising reminds Canadians to keep their receipts for filing, which is a very important point.
