The Members’ Allowances and Services Manual is a comprehensive guide to the Board of
Internal Economy’s current policies related to budgets, allowances and entitlements for
Members, House Officers and Research Offices. This manual outlines the provisions that apply
to Members who resign or die while in office, or who are not re-elected, and describes the
effects of the dissolution of Parliament on services, allowances and entitlements. The Members’
Allowances and Services Manual is available on IntraParl and on the Parliament of Canada
Web site.
The Members By-law, established by the Board of Internal Economy under the authority of the
Parliament of Canada Act, is the foundation of the Members’ Allowances and Services Manual
and should be read in conjunction with this manual. This By-law regulates how financial
resources and administrative services provided by the House are to be used. In the event of any
inconsistencies, the Members By-law takes precedence over this manual.

2. Governing Principles
This section defines:
Parliamentary functions
Principles
2.1 Parliamentary functions
Pursuant to s. 52 of the Parliament of Canada Act, the Board can make by-laws that
govern the use of funds, goods, services and premises by Members for carrying out their
parliamentary functions.
Section 1 of the Members By-Law defines “parliamentary functions” as follows:
Duties and activities that relate to the position of Member, wherever performed
and whether or not performed in a partisan manner, namely, participation in
activities relating to the proceedings and work of the House of Commons and
activities undertaken in representing his or her constituency or constituents.
For the purpose of clarity, subsection 4(3) of the Members By-law defines specific
activities that are not part of parliamentary functions.
For greater certainty, the following activities, when performed by a Member, are
not parliamentary functions:
(a) activities related to the private interests of a Member or a Member’s
immediate family;
(b) activities related to the administration, organization and internal
communications of a political party, including participation in a party
leadership campaign or convention, solicitations of contributions and
solicitations of membership to a political party;
(c) activities related to a Member’s re-election;
(d) activities designed, in the context of a federal, provincial, or municipal
election, or any other local election, to support or oppose a political party
or an individual candidate; and
(e) activities that are related to a meeting of an electoral district
association, as defined in the Canada Elections Act, and that are carried
out for nomination, electoral or sponsorship purposes or that relate to
soliciting contributions or membership.

June 26, 2013 3
2.2 Principles
The following principles govern the use of funds, goods, services and premises by
Members or on their behalf, as well as the responsibility of Members.
Responsibilities and accountability: Members are responsible for knowing,
understanding and following the Board’s policies as outlined in the Members By-law and
in this manual.
 Managing within the budgetary limits: Members must operate within the limits
of their allocated budget to carry out their parliamentary functions and are
personally responsible for paying expenditures that are not allowed or that
exceed the budget, amounts, allowances, rates and limits. Except as directed by
the Board, Members may not personally fund, in whole or in part, the purchase of
House assets. (Members By-law, Part 1)
 Responsibilities as an employer: Members are the employers of their
employees and have full discretion in the direction and control of the work
performed on the Member’s behalf by employees and contractors. Members are
always responsible for actions undertaken on their behalf. Even where there has
been a delegation of authority, the Member remains responsible for the actions
and decisions of their employees. (Members By-law, Part 1, Part 3 and Part 4)
 Custodian of goods and premises: Members are the custodians of goods and
premises provided by the House of Commons or purchased with funds provided
by the House of Commons. Assets must only be used in the discharge of
parliamentary functions. As the custodians, Members will be held to account for
managing and safekeeping these assets, whether purchased or provided by the
House of Commons. (Members By-law, Part 1)
Use of House Resources
 In the discharge of Parliamentary functions only: Members may use funds,
goods, services and premises provided by the House of Commons in the
discharge of their Parliamentary functions only. (Members By-law, Part 1 and
Part 5)
 Use by Members and their employees only: Only Members and their
employees may use the resources provided by the House of Commons. Family
members may not use, directly or indirectly, the resources provided to Members
by the House of Commons, nor may Senators, the Senate and the Government
of Canada or any of their employees. (Members By-law, Part 1 and Part 3)
 No donations or contributions: Members may not donate, directly or indirectly,
to any person, cause or organization, funds, goods or services provided by the
House of Commons, nor may they use these House resources for the purpose of
soliciting contributions. (Members By-law, Part 1)

June 26, 2013 4
3. Governance Structure
The governance structure of the House of Commons is as follows:
 Board of Internal Economy: Responsible for all financial and administrative
matters with respect to Members, the House of Commons itself, its premises,
services and staff. The Board is comprised of Members representing all
recognized political parties.
The Board is established pursuant to the Parliament of Canada Act, which sets
out its powers and exclusive authority to govern the allocation and use of funds,
goods, services and premises that Members and House Officers need to carry
out their parliamentary functions. The decisions and opinions of the Board are
reflected in the policies contained in this manual. Based on these policies,
Members manage their offices and employees, provide services to their
constituents, and perform their parliamentary functions.
The Board of Internal Economy approves House Administration budgets and is
the employer of House Administration employees.
 Speaker: At the beginning of each Parliament, Members elect the Speaker of the
House by secret ballot. The Speaker chairs the Board of Internal Economy.
 Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs: The Committee’s
mandate includes, among other functions, reviewing and reporting to the House
of Commons and the Board of Internal Economy on the following:
 issues concerning the administration of the House and the provision of
services and facilities to Members; and
 the effectiveness and management of operations under the joint control of the
House of Commons and the Senate, except the Library of Parliament.
 Clerk: As the senior permanent officer of the House of Commons and Secretary
to the Board of Internal Economy, the Clerk is responsible for the management of
the House Administration in accordance with the policy decisions and directions
of the Board. The Clerk advises and supports the Speaker, the House and its
committees in all procedural and administrative matters. The Clerk, acting under
the authority of the Board, carries out the functions of the Board as employer and
is responsible for financial matters, including the establishment of a system of
internal financial controls for the House.
 Clerk’s Management Group: Chaired by the Clerk and comprised of the heads
of each service areas, this management committee assists the Clerk by
recommending policies and making submissions to the Board of Internal
Economy, setting direction and priorities for the House Administration, defining
expected results, managing risks, and monitoring work in progress. The Clerk’s
Management Group also ensures compliance with the By-laws, harmonizes and
coordinates the policies and procedures within the House Administration, in
accordance with decisions of the Board of Internal Economy. The Clerk’s
Management Group is accountable to the Clerk.

continuity from one Parliament to the next, ensuring a stable infrastructure for Members,
preserving the parliamentary traditions and environment that supports Members in their
parliamentary functions.

Members’ Pay
Insurance Plans
Pension

Members’ Allowances and Services Manual Members' Salary & Benefits
2. Members’ Pay
Members’ Pay: An annual sessional allowance is payable to Members in accordance
with the Parliament of Canada Act. Eligibility for payment starts on the date of a
Member’s election as certified in the appropriate writ issued by the Chief Electoral
Officer. The sessional allowance is payable in equal instalments on the last day of each
month until the Member ceases to be a Member (resigns, dies, does not seek re-election
or is not re-elected). For more information, see the Elections chapter and the
Resignation or Death of a Member chapter.
Additional Salaries: Members who occupy certain offices and positions are entitled to
additional remuneration in accordance with the Parliament of Canada Act. These
additional salaries are paid as of the date of the Member’s appointment or election,
depending on the requirements of their respective position. For more information
concerning House Officers, the Speaker and other Presiding Officers, see the House
Officers and Recognized Parties chapter.
Annual Adjustment: The sessional allowance and additional salaries are adjusted each
year on April 1 based on the index of the average percentage increase in base-rate
wages for a calendar year in Canada resulting from major settlements negotiated in the
private sector. This index is published by Employment and Social Development Canada
within three months following the end of each calendar year. The salaries are rounded
down to the nearest hundred dollars.
For the current sessional allowance and additional salaries, see the Sessional Allowance
and Additional Salaries appendix in this chapter.
Members’ Attendance Reporting: A deduction of $120 is made from the sessional
allowance for each day beyond 21 days in a session in which a Member does not attend
a sitting of the House for reasons other than illness or official business. For every month
that the House is sitting, the Member must provide Pay and Benefits with a statement
indicating the number of days attended during the month, including the days they did not
attend for the following reasons because these absences count as a day of attendance:
illness, participation in other public or official business, service in the Canadian Armed
Forces, or the House had adjourned. No deductions are made from House Officers’
additional salaries.

3. Insurance Plans
Members are provided with a range of protection in the event of illness, disability or
death. Coverage includes life insurance, health and dental care. The following insurance
plans are available to Members:
Public Service Management Insurance Plan
Public Service Health Care Plan
Dental Care Plans
Other Insurance Options

a Member and to former Members who meet the eligibility criteria under
section 71.2 of the Parliament of Canada Act.
For more information about insurance benefits for Members, see the Public Service
Management Insurance Plan or contact Pay and Benefits.

3.2 Public Service Health Care Plan
This health care plan provides Members, their spouses and dependants with coverage

provincial or territorial plan. Some restrictions apply. The House Administration pays the
premiums for this plan but it is a co-insurance plan and there are annual deductibles. For
more information about insurance benefits for Members, see the Public Service Health
Care Plan Directive or contact Pay and Benefits.
Former Members can maintain Public Service Health Care Plan coverage if they receive

Act immediately upon ceasing to be Members or meet the eligibility criteria under
section 71.2 of the Parliament of Canada Act.
3.3 Dental Care Plans
Public Service Dental Care Plan: This mandatory dental care plan provides insurance

Member’s expense. It is available to former Members who are entitled to receive a
monthly retirement allowance immediately upon ceasing to be a Member and to former
Members who meet the eligibility criteria under section 71.2 of the Parliament of Canada
Act. Former Members’ survivors may also use this plan. For more information about the

this insurance. Members may purchase optional flight or rail insurance at their own
expense.

Provincial and Territorial Medicare: All provinces and territories provide Members with
basic health insurance. Most Members pay no premiums for this insurance; however,
Members residing in Alberta and British Columbia share the premiums with the House
Administration.
4. Pension
The Members of Parliament Retiring Allowances Act regulates pension coverage for
Members of the House of Commons. Under the Act, Members must contribute a
percentage of their sessional allowance toward their retirement benefits. For more
information about retirement benefits for Members, see IntraParl or contact Pay and
Benefits. Members can also obtain details pertaining to their personal retirement benefits
from their Pay and Benefits Advisor.
Severance Allowance: Under the Parliament of Canada Act, Members who are
ineligible for an immediate pension under the Members of Parliament Retiring
Allowances Act are entitled to a severance allowance upon ceasing to be a Member.
The severance allowance is a lump sum payment equal to 50% of the total sessional
allowance plus any additional salary as of the day prior to ceasing to be a Member.
Some restrictions apply.
Disability Allowance: Members who are 65 years of age or older and who resign by
reason of disability may elect to receive a disability allowance.

5. Relocation
Members may relocate their primary residence or establish a secondary residence in the
National Capital Region, once, at any time following their election to the House of
Commons. Members may relocate back from the National Capital Region to a residence
in Canada outside the National Capital Region within one year of ceasing to be a
Member. These benefits are subject to provisions outlined below.
Allowable Relocation Expenses: The following actual relocation expenses may be
reimbursed at the time of the relocation to and from the National Capital Region:
 packing, unpacking and moving of furniture, household equipment and personal
effects of the Member, their spouse and dependants residing with the Member;
 shipping of up to two family vehicles owned by the Member, their spouse or
dependants residing with the Member. Campers, snowmobiles, racing cars, and
any other vehicle or boat of three-quarter ton rating or more are not allowed;
 transportation of household pets;
 in-transit storage of household goods and effects when necessary, up to
three months;
 up to $1,500 of insurance premiums for household effects; and
 any incidental expenses related to installation or removal of appliances, utilities,
telecommunication, securities systems, etc.
Restrictions and Limitations: The following restrictions and limitations apply:
 All relocation expenses, including monthly storage charges if required, must be
claimed within one year of ceasing to be a Member.
 Relocation must include the National Capital Region as the first destination or
last departure point. (Relocations within the National Capital Region are not
allowed.)
 Financial Management Operations must approve in advance, in writing, any
in-transit storage of household effects from a Member’s residence in the National
Capital Region.
 Moves must be direct, from one address to another. Only expenses incurred for
loading, unloading, cartage, or freight charges of household effects the Member’s
primary or secondary residence or authorized storage location will be
reimbursed.

 The House of Commons will not be liable for:
 any fees, liabilities or costs related to the leasing, renting, buying, or selling of
a Member’s primary or secondary residence by a Member, former Member or
their estate; and
 any economic losses or out-of-pocket expenses incurred due to a recession,
depressed housing market conditions, health-related issues, floods, fire, etc.
 Members must settle any disputes resulting from the move (e.g., damages to
goods in transit) directly with the mover or the insurance company prior to signing
or submitting the invoices for payment or reimbursement within one year of
ceasing to be a Member.
Planning the Move: To obtain accurate information and advice, Members should
contact Financial Management Operations before proceeding with any relocation-related
activities.
Members may take advantage of the House Administration standing offer with
commercial movers. Alternatively, Members may also use another moving company
provided they obtain estimates from at least two commercial companies and forward
these estimates to Financial Management Operations for written confirmation of the
selected mover.
To ensure that the interests of Members and the House Administration are protected, the
moving estimate must be in the name of the Member. The estimate must be signed by
the Member, an officer of the business performing the work and their respective
witnesses. The House Administration is unable to give verbal or written guarantees to
movers in advance of a move that the full estimated relocation expenses as determined
by the mover will be paid by the House Administration.
The relocation estimate must describe:
 the moving company’s business number, goods and services tax/harmonized
sales tax registration number or social insurance number;
 the nature of the services to be provided, including the weight of the goods as
well as the departure and destination addresses;
 the insurance coverage;
 total fees; and
 the timelines and deliverables.
Once signed, the moving estimate is considered a binding contract and may not be
amended or replaced by a new agreement that charges a greater amount for the same
arrangements.
Invoicing: All invoices for moving expenses must be sent to the Member or former
Member, who is responsible for verifying the charges and confirming that they are
satisfied with the work performed. Original receipts for all relocation expense claims are
required.

Invoices must indicate:
 the completed work, described in detail with dates; and
 the dollar amount of the invoice.
Members may pay relocation expenses directly to the moving company and then claim
reimbursement from Financial Management Operations. Alternatively, the moving
company’s invoice, with the written approval of the Member or former Member, may be
forwarded to Financial Management Operations for direct payment to the moving
company; only allowable expenses approved in writing by the Member will be paid. Any
unpaid portion of a move resulting from a dispute is the Member’s personal
responsibility.
Travel: Travel expenses of the Member, dependants and spouse residing with the
Member will be reimbursed as follows:
 Relocating to the National Capital Region: Air or surface transportation
expenses of the Member, the spouse and dependants from the Member’s
primary residence to a residence in the National Capital Region may be claimed
under the Members’ Travel Points System.
Accommodation, meal and incidental expenses are not reimbursed. However,
when travelling under the Travel Points System, Members may claim their
personal accommodation, meal and incidental expenses as a charge to their
Travel Status Expenses Account. For more information, contact Members’ Travel
Services.
 Relocating back to a residence elsewhere in Canada, outside the National
Capital Region: The House Administration will pay the cost of air or surface
transportation in relocating the former Member, dependants and the spouse
residing with the Member, from the National Capital Region to the new or former
place of residence in Canada in accordance with the Members’ travel regulations
in effect at that time. Additional costs resulting from stopovers en route for
personal reasons will be at the traveller’s expense.
Accommodation, meal and incidental expenses are not reimbursed. However, if
relocating while in office, the personal accommodation, meal and incidental
expenses of the Member may be charged to the Travel Status Expenses
Account.
 Death of a Member while in office: The House Administration will pay the
transportation and relocation costs of the former Member’s spouse and
dependants from the National Capital Region to their residence in Canada,
outside the National Capital Region. The House Administration will provide one
economy class return trip to a maximum of two travellers (executor, family
member or other) to arrange for the move of the former Member’s household and
personal effects, subject to the conditions outlined in this policy. Air or surface
transportation costs, with receipts, will be reimbursed, but accommodation, meal
and incidental expenses will not. For more information, contact Members’ Travel
Services.

3.1 Basic Budget and Supplements
The Member’s Office Budget consists of a basic budget and in some cases an Elector
Supplement and/or a Geographic Supplement for Members who represent densely
populated or geographically large constituencies. Members whose constituencies are
listed in Schedule 3 of the Canada Elections Act also receive a Schedule 3 Supplement.
The Member’s Office Budget is allocated each fiscal year on April 1.
Basic Budget: The Board of Internal Economy sets the basic budget and may adjust it
from time to time. For the following three fiscal years, the basic budget has been frozen
at the fiscal year 2011-2012 level as follows:
Members’ Basic Budget
2012-2013 $284,700
2013-2014 $284,700
2014-2015 $284,700

Elector Supplement: Members who represent densely populated constituencies
receive an Elector Supplement. This graduated supplement is added to the Basic
Budget when there are 70,000 or more electors on the Final Lists of Electors for the
Member’s constituency, as published by the Chief Electoral Officer after a general
election. The Elector Supplement remains in effect for the duration of a Parliament.
2014-2015 Annual Elector Supplement
Number of Electors Supplement
150,001 or more $52,140
130,001 – 150,000 43,440
110,001 – 130,000 34,770
90,001 – 110,000 26,090
80,001 – 90,000 17,400
70,000 – 80,000 8,700
Geographic Supplement: Members who represent constituencies with an area of
500 square kilometres or more receive a graduated Geographic Supplement.
2014-2015 Annual Geographic Supplement
Area (Sq. km) Supplement
500,001 and more $52,900
200,001 – 500,000 37,270
75,001 – 200,000 30,060
20,001 – 75,000 21,640
15,001 – 20,000 19,230
8,001 – 15,000 16,830
3,001 – 8,000 8,410

Schedule 3 Supplement: Members who represent constituencies listed in Schedule 3
of the Canada Elections Act receive a Schedule 3 Supplement of $16,830, except for
Members representing Western Arctic and Nunavut who receive $20,200.
The Chief Electoral Officer confirms the electoral boundaries of each constituency, which
are reviewed every 10 years. After this review and the following general election, there
may be changes to the supplements due to demographic or electoral boundary changes.
For a complete list of basic budgets and supplements by constituency, see the
Member’s Office Budget by Constituency appendix in this chapter.

Carry-Forward: Members may carry forward into the next fiscal year the unspent
portion of the previous fiscal year’s Member’s Office Budget, excluding any carry-forward
from a prior year, to a maximum of 5% of the approved budget. The carry-forward is
calculated each year in June by the House Administration and is automatically added to
the Member’s Office Budget for the new fiscal year. However, the carry-forward policy
does not apply to expenditure limits established within a budget such as the
Miscellaneous Expenditures Account and advertising expenses.
In the year of an anticipated election: Between April 1st of the year of an anticipated
general election and election day, Members’ expenditures may not exceed 10 percent of
their Member’s Office Budget on a month-by-month cumulative basis. This limit also
applies to the Miscellaneous Expenditures Account. The 10% limit does not apply to the
previous year’s carry-forward.
3.2 Use of the Member’s Office Budget
The Member’s Office Budget may only be used in the discharge of Members’
parliamentary functions. Except as otherwise expressly indicated, services and goods
provided centrally by the House Administration may not be purchased by Members and
charged as an expense against any budget.
This section includes:
Employee Salaries
Contracts
Travel
Office Operations
For other uses of the Member’s Office Budget, see sections 3.3 Miscellaneous
Expenditures Account, 3.4 Advertising and 3.5 Web Sites and Domain Names in this
chapter.
Employee Salaries: Employee salaries are charged to the Member’s Office Budget.
The Board of Internal Economy sets a maximum annual salary and the terms and
conditions of employment. For further information about employee hiring, conditions of
employment, resignation and dismissal, see the Employees chapter.
Contracts: The goods and services acquired through contracts are charged to the
Member’s Office Budget and are subject to a maximum contract limit as set by the Board
of Internal Economy. For further information, see the Contracts chapter.
Travel: Members may charge some of their travel expenses and those of their
authorized travellers to their Member’s Office Budget. For further details, see the Travel
chapter. These expenses include:
 travel within the province or territory in which a Member’s constituency is located;
 a Member’s road transportation outside the province or territory in which the
Member’s constituency is located;

 a Member’s travel within the National Capital Region, such as parking, taxi and
public transit expenses, when supported by receipts;
 travel for a Member whose constituency is located in the National Capital Region;
 employee travel to attend training; and
 employee accommodations, meals and incidental expenses when travelling in
the discharge of a Member’s parliamentary functions.
Office Operations: Members have a parliamentary office in Ottawa and usually one or
more offices in their constituency.
 Ottawa: Members are provided with a furnished office within the parliamentary
precinct that includes standard computers and office equipment. The House
Administration provides services to Members, including mail, messenger, printing
and telecommunications. These services are generally charged against the
House Administration’s budgets and are subject to certain conditions. Members
may purchase additional equipment and supplies for their parliamentary office
subject to certain restrictions. These items are charged to the Member’s Office
Budget. For more details, see the Offices chapter.
 Constituency: Most operating expenses, such as leases, equipment and
maintenance, are charged to the Member’s Office Budget.
For further details on the purchase and management of assets, see the Offices chapter,
including the Limits on the Purchase of Assets appendix.
Members may also charge the following expenses to their Member’s Office Budget:
 Tablet Devices: Members may charge the cost of one Apple iPad or one
BlackBerry PlayBook, subject to established minimum requirements, and
associated accessories (extended warranty, case, charger and micro-SIM card)
to their Member’s Office Budget. The maximum purchase price of the tablet
(including all associated accessories and taxes) cannot exceed $1,500. Members
must purchase a flex data plan for iPads when available and an extended
warranty for 24 months for the iPad and PlayBook. Expenses associated with the
tablet’s monthly data plan and roaming charges are charged to the Member’s
Office Budget. The purchase and maintenance of applications and digital content
for the device, with the exception of newspaper and periodical subscriptions and
e-books, may not be charged to the Member’s Office Budget or any other budget.
Members may only charge the purchase of a new device to their Member’s Office
Budget 24 months after the purchase of the previous device. The Constituency
Asset Report will be updated accordingly and the older device must be returned
promptly to Materiel and Contract Management. The tablet device must also be
returned to Materiel and Contract Management when the Member ceases to be a
Member. However, the Member will retain complete ownership of all applications
and digital content. Members will assume full responsibility for the security of the
information and documents saved on the tablet. House Administration support
will be limited to synchronization with its IT messaging services. All maintenance
issues will be the sole responsibility of the Member. Members should only use

the Wi-Fi capability of the device when travelling abroad and limit the use of their
devices to parliamentary functions.
For more information on the purchase, care, management, disposal or loss of
these assets, see the Offices chapter.
 Reference Material: Members may charge the following reference material to
their Member’s Office Budget:
o dictionaries, directories or other reference material;
o books (traditional and electronic), not to exceed three copies of any title;
o newspaper and periodical subscriptions (electronic subscriptions may be on a
weekly, monthly or quarterly basis only); and
o fees for Access to Information requests personally submitted by the Member.
 Sundries: Members may charge the following to their Member’s Office Budget:
o plants and floral arrangements;
o flags;
o Remembrance Day wreaths and seasonal decorations; and
o items for office-related hospitality, such as coffee makers, cups, spoons and
drinking glasses.
 Language Interpretation Services: Members may charge the cost of language
interpretation services to their Member’s Office Budget when these services are
required in the discharge of Members’ parliamentary functions in Canada,
Washington D.C. or New York City. Original receipts must be presented for
reimbursement. No travel costs may be reimbursed for the interpreter.
 Sign Language Interpretation: Members may charge the cost of sign language
interpretation to their Member’s Office Budget when they are required to meet
with hearing-impaired constituents. Alternatively, Members may also seek prior
approval from their Chief Whip to charge the cost of sign language interpretation
to their party’s Caucus Translation Service Budget. In either case, original
receipts must be presented for reimbursement.
 Room Rental for Public Meetings: Members may charge the cost of room
rentals for public meetings to their Member’s Office Budget. It is highly
recommended that Members acquire public liability insurance for these meeting
facilities, which they may charge to their Member’s Office Budget. They may also
charge related costs such as sound systems and security to their Member’s
Office Budget.

3.3 Miscellaneous Expenditures Account
A portion of the Member’s Office Budget may be used as a Miscellaneous Expenditures
Account. Currently, this portion is set at up to 3% of the Member’s Office Budget. The
Miscellaneous Expenditures Account limit cannot be increased by a carry-forward. For
more information, see the Financial Limits by Constituency appendix in this chapter.
The following hospitality expenses related to the Member’s parliamentary functions, but
excluding partisan activities, may be charged to this account:
 meals for the Member and guests when accompanied by one or more guests;
 tickets for meals with service groups, at community events or other meetings of a
non-partisan nature;
 food and any beverages served at meetings and non-partisan events;
 small token items, such as buttons, pins, ribbons and certificate holders (except
for promotional items with the Member’s contact information, which would be
charged as an advertising expense). See section 3.4 Advertising in this chapter
for more details;
 purchase of a gift not exceeding $150 (before taxes) given as a matter of
protocol in the discharge of the Member’s parliamentary functions, excluding
partisan activities. These gifts may be given to recognize the value and
importance of a person, event or organization in the Member’s constituency that
has contributed positively to the community. These may include:
o charitable and non-profit community organizations;
o athletic, educational or cultural community events; and
o individuals from the community who have achieved distinction, or whose
significant contribution to the community warrants public recognition;
 purchase of flowers not exceeding $150 (before taxes) for funerals of a
Member’s constituent;
 purchase of a gift not exceeding $150 (before taxes) given as a matter of
protocol to a civic leader or visiting dignitary.
To receive reimbursement against the Miscellaneous Expenditures Account, original
receipts must be provided and the Member must personally sign the invoice. For
reimbursement of gifts purchased under this policy, Members must submit an office
expense claim via the Financial Portal and provide the original receipts. This
responsibility cannot be delegated. For more information on reimbursement, see section
7. Accounting and Reimbursement in this chapter.

3.5 Web Sites and Domain Names
Members may charge expenses to the Member’s Office Budget for:
Web Sites
Domain Names
Web Sites: In order to charge certain expenses to their Member’s Office Budget,
Members must designate one Web site with a domain name that is in compliance with
the domain name policy. Once designated, only that Web site may be used in
advertisements, ten percenters and householders, or on letterhead and personalized
stationery.
Members are personally responsible for the content of their Web sites. They must
ensure that the content is at all times in compliance with the by-laws and the restrictions
outlined below, as well as any applicable legislation (e.g. Canada Elections Act and
Copyright Act).
To designate a Web site, Members must submit the Designation of a Member’s
Web Site form. This designation will remain in effect for at least 12 months or for the
duration of the Parliament, whichever is less.
Allowable expenses that can be charged to the Member’s Office Budget are as
follows:
 Web consulting services, Web design, graphic design and maintenance;
 Web site hosting fees; and
 copyright fees for Web site content, if required.
Content: Designated Web sites may include party logos, partisan opinions and
advocacy statements. Links to other Web sites are allowed as long as these links

contravene the restrictions outlined below. For example, an allowable link would be
“ABC Party Web site.” However, links such as “Contribute to the ABC Party,” “Join
the ABC Party,” “Member’s Name – Campaign 2015” or “Donate to Local Food Bank”
would not be allowed.
Restrictions: Members’ designated Web sites cannot directly or indirectly:

 include solicitations of funds for community groups or charities;
 include solicitations of donations or contributions;
 include campaign or riding association information; or

March 20, 2014 Page 13 of 18
Only Members’ Web sites that comply with the above conditions and the domain
name policy, whether they are paid through the Member’s Office Budget or not, may
be:
 linked from the Parliament of Canada Web site (www.parl.gc.ca); or
 used in advertisements, promotional items, ten percenters and householders,
or on letterhead and personalized stationery.
Invoicing: Requests for reimbursement or payment must include the following three
elements:
 the original invoice (including the invoice number, where applicable) printed
on the official letterhead of the business or organization that provided the
service;
 the domain name or designated Web site address for which services were
rendered; and
 the authorization and signature of the Member or delegated employee.
Domain Names: Members may charge domain name registration fees to their Member’s
Office Budget under the following conditions:
 The domain name is neutral and does not include words such as vote, donate,
support, elect, contribute, or any other words of the same nature;

When seeking reimbursement, Members must clearly indicate the domain name on the
invoices.
It is the Member’s responsibility to ensure the protection of any domain names. Although
Members may purchase multiple domain names, only one can be designated for use
under the Web site policy. As a result, all domain names purchased should direct users

March 20, 2014 Page 15 of 18
5. Delegation of Authority
The Board of Internal Economy permits Members to delegate certain responsibilities to

contractors.

March 20, 2014 Page 16 of 18
Financial Management Operations must be notified in writing of the delegation, its extent
and duration, any subsequent amendments and its termination. Members must complete
and return the Delegation of Authority - Members form. For further information or a copy
of the form, contact Financial Management Operations.
6. Financial Reports and Public Disclosure
Financial Reports: Members may access different financial reports related to their
budgetary allocations and various expenditures, including salary, travel, operating and
advertising expenses via the Financial Portal. For further information, contact Financial
Management Operations.
Other than the Member or the Board of Internal Economy, no one else may release
information about a Member’s expenditures without the permission of the Member or the
Board.
Public Disclosure: The Speaker of the House of Commons will publish the Members’
Expenditures Report on the Parliament of Canada Web site on a quarterly basis. The
report summarizes expenditures incurred by Members as well as those related to
resources provided by the House Administration in support of Members’ parliamentary
functions. The categories of expenditure are: employees’ salaries; service contracts;
travel; hospitality; advertising; printing; and offices. Members must routinely review their
financial reports and identify errors to ensure the accuracy and validity of the data
reported in the Financial Portal. The schedule for cumulative quarterly reporting will be
as follows:
Year-to-date Reports Publishing Deadline
Q1 (April – June) September 30
Q2 (April – September) December 31
Q3 (April – December) March 31
Q4 (April – March) June 30

March 20, 2014 Page 17 of 18
Members are responsible for managing their budgets. This includes paying suppliers,
except for recurring charges such as office rent, which are managed by Financial
Management Operations. The following describes payment methods, including
establishing a petty cash for office expenses, administration of sales taxes and recovery
of payments.
Paying Suppliers: Members are responsible for directly paying suppliers for all
allowable expenses under $100. For allowable expenditures exceeding $100, Members
may either:
 submit an office expense claim via the Financial Portal and provide the approved
invoices to Financial Management Operations for payment directly to the
supplier; or
 pay these expenses and submit an office expense claim via the Financial Portal
and provide the original receipts to Financial Management Operations.
If Members pay suppliers by cheque, the associated bank charges may be charged to
the Member’s Office Budget.
During the fiscal year, reimbursement requests should be submitted to Financial
Management Operations as soon as possible. At the end of the fiscal year (March 31),
all accounts relating to that fiscal year must be received by the date specified by
Financial Management Operations in its year-end procedures. Subject to certain
conditions, invoices received after the specified date will be charged to the new fiscal
year.
Direct Deposit for Reimbursement: Members may request that reimbursement for
travel and office expense claims be deposited directly to their bank account. For further
information, contact Financial Management Operations.
Petty Cash: In order to pay suppliers directly, Members may establish a petty cash of up
to $2,000. This advance does not represent an increase to the Member’s Office Budget.
The petty cash is established by completing the Petty Cash Request - Members form
that is available from Financial Management Operations. By signing this form, Members
accept all terms and conditions associated with creating a petty cash. Non-allowable
expenses, including those exceeding the applicable budget limit, will not be reimbursed.
Members must ensure adequate measures are taken to safeguard their petty cash fund.
Members are personally responsible for any loss of funds resulting from negligence or
misuse. The petty cash must be returned to the House Administration when the Member
ceases to be a Member.

March 20, 2014 Page 18 of 18
Taxes: Members pay the Goods and Services Tax (GST), the Harmonized Sales Tax
(HST) and the Quebec Sales Tax (QST), as applicable, on purchase of goods and
services. However, these taxes are automatically charged to a central account and are
not charged to the Member’s Office Budget.
The provincial sales tax (PST) applies in the provinces of British Columbia,
Saskatchewan and Manitoba and is charged to the Member’s Office Budget. However,
Members may claim a PST exemption for goods and services acquired in the discharge
of their parliamentary functions under the following circumstances:
 Since House standing offers already contain a PST exemption provision, all
purchases by Members or on their behalf using a House standing offer are PST
exempt—no action is required by the Member.
 The mandatory contract for professional services template contains a PST
exemption provision. If the Member enters into another type of contract with a
supplier, such as an equipment lease agreement, the Member may claim a PST
exemption if such a provision is added to the contract. The supplier may request
a copy of the PST exemption certificate.
 Some provinces charge PST on office leases. If this is the case, Members must
include a PST exemption provision in the lease agreement. The landlord may
request a copy of the PST exemption certificate.
Regulatory charges (e.g. environmental fees) are typically paid and charged to the
applicable budget.
For a copy of the Provincial Sales Tax exemption certificate or for further information on
the application of the GST, HST, QST, PST and regulatory charges, contact Financial
Management Operations.
Recovery of Funds: In accordance with the Parliament of Canada Act, the Board of
Internal Economy has the power to act on all matters of financial and administrative
policy affecting the House of Commons.
After 90 days or more, the House Administration may recover what is owed from the
amounts due to Members, excluding their allowances, salaries and pensions. This does
not preclude the Board of Internal Economy from exercising any other civil remedies it
deems appropriate.
Former Members must repay any amounts they owe to the House of Commons.
