Status of Women Canada - Report on Annual Expenditures for Travel, Hospitality and Conferences - For the period ending December 12, 2018
As required by the Treasury Board Directive on Travel, Hospitality, Conference and Event Expenditures this report provides information on the total annual expenditures for each of the categories of travel, hospitality and conferences for Status of Women Canada (SWC) up to December 12, 2018. On December 13, 2018, SWC became Women and Gender Equality Canada in accordance with the Budget Implementation Act, 2018, No. 2, and transferred its operations.
This information is updated annually and does not contain information withheld under the Access to Information Act or the Privacy Act.
Expenditures on travel, hospitality and conference fees incurred are directly related to supporting Status of Women Canada’s mandate, achieving its strategic outcome and meeting government priorities.
The Government of Canada established the Office of the Co-ordinator, Status of Women, in 1976 with the mandate to coordinate policy with respect to the status of women and to administer related programs (Order in Council 1976–779). SWC is thus the primary federal agency responsible for supporting the Government’s agenda to advance equality for women. In fulfilling its mandate, the agency works with a wide range of organizations, building synergies with key stakeholders, collaborating with different orders of government and engaging the private and voluntary sectors. SWC also helps fulfill Canada’s international obligations related to gender equality.
Further information on the mandate, roles, responsibilities and programs of SWC can be found in the organization's Departmental Results Report and Departmental Plan.
