The Treasury Board Secretariat has two separate travel policies:
The Secretariat's Special Travel Authorities outlines travel provisions pertaining to ministers and their exempt staff, as well as members of Parliament, deputy ministers, Governor-in-Council appointees and executives. This authority also outlines principles to help heads of departments exercise discretion about their business travel expenses.
The Secretariat's Travel Directive, including Rates and Allowances serves as a benchmark for the Special Travel Authorities and apply to public service employees, exempt staff and other persons travelling on official government business unless their travel is governed by another authority.
Fisheries and Oceans Canada follows and uses these Treasury Board Secretariat travel policies.
