''The Access to Information Act'' differentiates the proactive publication requirements for “government institutions” and “government entities”.
'''Government institutions''' are all institutions subject to the Access to Information Act. Proactive publication requirements for government institutions are:
*Travel and hospitality expenses of senior officials
*Reports tabled in Parliament
'''Government entities''' are government institutions that are also listed in Schedules I, I.1, or II of the Financial Administration Act. Proactive publication requirements for government entities are:
*Travel and hospitality expenses of senior officials
*Reports tabled in Parliament
*Briefing packages for new deputy heads
*Titles and tracking numbers of briefing notes
*Binders for Parliamentary Committee appearances
*Grants and contributions over $25,000
*Contracts over $10,000
In addition, government institutions for which the Treasury Board is the employer are subject to the requirement of reclassification of positions.
Further details regarding the publication requirements for government institutions and government entities can be found [[ATIP/ATI|here]].
