Travel and Hospitality Expenses
Welcome to the Ontario Human Rights Commission's expenses disclosure website.
This website provides regular updates on the travel, meal and hospitality expense claims of the OHRC's senior executives, appointees and top 5 claimants.
A link to the Ontario government website (http://www.ontario.ca/en/expense_claim/index.htm) provides access to information on the expense claims of cabinet ministers, political staff, government appointees and senior management in ministries.
Expenses claimed by designated officials after April 1, 2010 will be disclosed through this website. For April, May and June 2010 expense claim information will be disclosed on a monthly basis. After June 2010, expense claim information will be posted on a quarterly basis.
This website will show the person’s name and title, purpose of the trip(s), date and destination of the trip(s), names of government/agency attendees if applicable, plus a summary of expenses for relevant air fare, other transportation, accommodation, meals, hospitality and incidentals.
Expense claim information can be accessed through this website as soon as possible after the claims are reviewed by the Integrity Commissioner.
In accordance with the Travel, Meal and Hospitality Expenses Directive, the OHRC posts the travel, meal and hospitality expenses of all individuals designated under PSERA, including the five highest expense claimants. In some cases certain of the work–related expenses of the five highest expense claimants may not appear on this site because the expenses are not related to travel, meals or hospitality.
Information on this website was accurate at the time of posting.
