  • On October 1, 2012 the Government of Alberta implemented a new comprehensive disclosure policy on travel, accommodation, meals and hospitality expenses. The disclosure requirements apply to ministers and associate ministers, their political staff, and senior officials appointed by Order in Council and paid directly by government; and to deputy ministers and executive managers in the Alberta Public Service. Expenses are published online, along with receipts. Disclosures are reported on a bi-monthly basis.

    • Ministry - The Ministry where the expense was incurred;
    • Position - The position of the Discloser that incurred the expense
    • Name - The name of the Discloser that incurred the expense (Last Name,First Name);
    • Category - The high level classification of the expense (Travel, Hospitality, Working Session);
