This guide is intended to help Members of the House of Commons fill out a Public Statement of Sponsored Travel. It explains the specific information required in the statement and how to submit it to the Commissioner’s Office.
About Sponsored Travel
Sponsored travel is any travel worth more than $200 that is not fully paid by the government, a political party, a recognized parliamentary association or Members themselves.
Within 60 days after the end of a sponsored trip, Members must disclose it to the Commissioner’s Office.
The Commissioner’s Office will post the statement in the public registry.
The Commissioner is required to submit to the Speaker of the House of Commons, by March 31 each year, a List of sponsored travel by Members during the previous calendar year. The Speaker tables it in the House of Commons.
