Treasury Board Approvals to Fund Government-Wide Advertising Plan (2004-2005 - Quarter 4)


All federal institutions under Schedules I, I.I and II of the Financial Administration Act must follow the advertising procedures set in the Communications Policy of the Government of Canada. All major advertising initiatives proposed by departments must be agreed to by Cabinet, and then submitted to the Treasury Board, which approves the allocation of funds for approved campaigns. In selected instances, such as local public notice announcements, departments and agencies may initiate small advertising initiatives on their programs and services or for statutory purposes aimed at specific domestic or international audiences from within their own budgets. All final advertising expenditures are reported by Public Works and Government Services Canada as part of the Annual Report on the Government of Canada's Advertising.
