Establishing Your Office - Infrastructure Canada

Welcome Minister

Welcome to Infrastructure Canada (INFC). In order to make your transition to INFC as smooth as possible, the department will provide support to ensure your office is well established to meet your needs. This will be coordinated by a departmental official who is assigned by the Deputy Minister to facilitate the transmittal of departmental advice and who will be a key coordinator for arranging your office to best suit your requirements.

Upon your arrival, this support will include:

  • Security requirements: assistance will be provided to ensure that all security requirements are implemented for the safety of you and your office, including arranging security consultations and briefings and providing appropriate tools for the protection of sensitive information. In addition, the department will assist in obtaining or validating security clearances for any incoming staff.
  • Human resources: support will be provided to facilitate the arrival of incoming staff, including the letters of offer, as well as the provision of welcome kits with key administration information. The departmental can also provide temporary administrative support staff to assist you with establishing your office.
  • Financial advice: you will receive a letter from the Treasury Board outlining budgetary information for your office. The department will be available to provide information and address any questions which may arise regarding the Ministerial budget.
  • Vehicle services: your vehicle will be available to you immediately following the swearing in ceremony, as well as a temporary driver should you require one.
  • Administrative needs: the department will be available to address any administrative need which may arise, and your preferences will be sought regarding several administrative items, including the selection of electronic devices, the establishment of protocols for the use of an autopen, and the arrangement of your office suite and business cards.

Once your Chief of Staff has been appointed, the department will provide them a welcome kit containing more detailed administrative information to help establish your office and address any requirements you may have.

The Deputy Minister and the department are also prepared to brief you on the department's mandate, as well as legislation (e.g.: Access to Information and Privacy Act) and practices (e.g.: information management) relevant to the day to day operations of a Minister's office. The departmental official will work with your office to coordinate these sessions, depending on your availability and interest.

Please find at the end of this document, a list of key contacts, should you require any immediate assistance in the coming days. We look forward to helping you establish your office.

Introduction

Ministers and exempt staff are subject to Treasury Board policies and regulations. In accordance with the Financial Administration Act, the Treasury Board provides advice and makes recommendations on how the government spends money on programs and services, how it regulates and how it is managed.

To support your office, the department will be following the Treasury Board Policies for Ministers' Offices (the "Policies"). These Policies consolidate the various financial, personnel, and administrative rules and regulations that govern ministers and their exempt staff when they perform duties directly related to their responsibilities.

By its very nature, the Policies cannot be all-inclusive and, as such, source documents are cited in this binder where appropriate. Other guidelines included in the Policies are the Contracting policy and Directive on Travel, Hospitality, Conference and Event Expenditures.

The departmental staff can guide you and your office on interpreting these policies, directives and internal tools, as required.

Administrative Support

Your Ministerial office is supported by MinoAdmin, a small group of departmental staff, paid for by the department who are assigned to provide administrative assistance within the scope of your portfolio responsibilities.

The departmental liaison Officer (DL) will be responsible for non-partisan departmental advice and will be the liaison between the Minister's office and the department, and manages the interaction between your staff and the department, as well the sharing of information and documents.

The Executive Correspondence Unit (ECU) provides information management services by coordinating responses to the Minister's mail. ECU works closely with the departmental subject matter experts and other regional contacts to prepare draft replies for the Minister's signature.

The department can also provide three public servant administrative support staff to the Minister's office. The roles and responsibilities of these staff are outlined in the Policies, and may include administrative assistants to support the office, such as a receptionist. Is is important to note that the salary for these positions would be funded by the department. MinoAdmin can assist you in staffing these depending on your office's needs.

Security

All individuals who work in or for the office of any minister, including exempt staff, other employees, contractors, students, and persons on loan, assignment, or secondment, regardless of their work location, require at a minimum a Level 2 (Secret) security clearance prior to appointment.

A Top Secret clearance is required for individuals who will have access to information classified at that level.

SECURITY CLEARANCE REQUESTS

Employees who do not have a valid secret security clearance will need to complete the following security clearance forms. To expedite the process, the department will be available to assist in the completion of screening forms for any incoming staff. These forms will be sent for analysis and either an approved or denied secret clearance will be obtained.

The processing time for security clearance varies based on the complexity of the individual's file. However, on average, new secret security clearance requests as well as an update of a security clearance can take between 2 to 12 weeks. The verification of a security clearance from another department can typically be done within 2 business days as long as the individual file is complete at the other department.

SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS

Your security, as well as of your office, is a priority for INFC and upon your arrival, we will ensure that all your needs are met.

Security is a joint responsibility between the department, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and the Privy Council Office. While Ministers are responsible for the security of their staff and offices, as well as of sensitive information and other assets in their custody, the department provides assistance in ensuring that all security requirements are implemented for your office and safety.

The department will brief your Chief of Staff and your official on requirements for the protection of personnel, sensitive information and other assets, including their security responsibilities with respect to Cabinet Confidences.

OFFICE AND HILL PASSES

The Security team will provide you and your office with office passes on their first day. Hill Passes are for those who require access to the House of Commons. Please complete the following form.

THREAT AND RISK ASSESSMENT

A Threat and Risk assessment is performed by the department at the Minister's office, home(s), cottages and, if a recent report is not available, the constituency office.  The Security team coordinates with an identified member of the Minister's staff to physically visit each of these locations. The result of the assessment is typically a set of recommendations based on risk factors (e.g. ensuring a home alarm system etc.).

OFFICE SWEEP

An office sweep consists of periodic review of the physical office space to ensure that sensitive material (e.g.: sensitive documents, electronic devices) are properly stored.

Although the risk is likely low at INFC, a deeper ‘bug sweep' to ensure no recording devices or means of obtaining information by an outside body, can be performed. 

POLICIES FOR MINISTERS' OFFICES

Please refer to Part 2 of the Policies for additional information on requirements and personal security.

ASSISTANCE

Advice on security clearances and other security requirements may be obtained by the with the collaboration of the Chief Security Officer. Please contact MinoAdmin if you require a secure briefcase.

Human Resource Management

In the coming weeks, you will receive a letter from the Treasury Board providing information on your Ministerial budget. Depending on this budget and your preferences and regional responsibilities, you will have the flexibility to establish the structure of your office to best suit your needs within your allocated funding levels.

To assist you in your considerations, please find below some information regarding position titles and salary maximums as laid out in the current Policies.

The department will be available to provide human resources support and advice to facilitate the timely arrival of incoming Ministerial staff.

STAFFING

Members of a Minister's exempt staff are "exempt" from the appointment procedures of the Public Service of Canada. Once you have decided on whom you wish to hire, the department will assist you in bringing the individual based on the requirements in the Policies.

A minister can sign letters of offer after the being sworn-in. However, the first step in the staffing process is providing employee informationFootnote 1 and verifying their clearance. If the individual does not have a valid secret security clearance, the employee should complete these forms.

Once a security clearance is obtained, the department will assist in preparing a letter of offer for your signature. MinoAdmin will be available to assist you throughout this process. It is important to note that you are the only person who can issue and sign letter of offer of employment (or termination of employment) for your exempt staff, this authority cannot be delegated.

Once a letter of offer is signed by both you and the newly appointed exempt staff, MinoAdmin will work with that individual to complete the necessary forms to set up their pay and benefits. Finally, an email account will be created and electronic devices issued. We will work with you and your Chief of Staff to assign office space and configure their office to best suit their needs.

PAY

The position of the individuals should reflect those found in Appendix A of the Policies. Each approved exempt staff position title found in Appendix A is associated with a salary equivalent to the current maximums of Public Service groups and levels.

There are no minimum rates of pay. However, as a general rule, the maximum salary is reserved for staff with relevant professional qualifications, ten or more years of employment experience or extraordinary skills and qualifications.

In exceptional circumstances, a minister may, with the prior agreement of the Prime Minister's Office and approval by the Treasury Board, pay an exempt staff member a salary above the permitted maximum. This exception will be sought through a Treasury Board Submission.

DEPARTMENTAL STAFF ASSIGNED TO MINISTERS' OFFICES

A minister is permitted three positions which are not charged against the minister's departmental staff budget, but directly from existing departmental reference levels.

  • One departmental liaison.
  • One departmental administrative support position.
  • One departmental corporate support position.

This is the maximum complement of departmental positions funded directly by the department.

  • There can be a maximum of one senior support staff position. All other positions may only be classified up to the AS-04 level.
  • Any other remaining departmental staff positions are considered to be support staff positions and must be funded from the minister's staff budget.

The department will assist you in providing a list of eligible candidates for these positions.

The department will assist the Minister's office in identifying the individuals who require delegated spending and financial authorities under sections 32, 33 and 34 of the Financial Administration Act and to facilitate the establishment of new delegations authorities (including the use of the autopen).
These employees will be required to complete the following mandatory training which are available online or can be provided in person by the department.

The department is available at your convenience to discuss any financial inquires you may have and will seek to brief you and your Chief of Staff as soon as your budget has been received from the Treasury Board.

The Chief Financial Officer will designate a Financial Management Advisor (FMA) for your office and will provide regular financial reports on the status of your budget including expenditures and forecasts. They will also assist your office in responding to the quarterly requirement from the Treasury Board Secretariat to report on Ministerial budgets.

ESTABLISHING THE MINISTERS' OFFICE BUDGETS

The office budget will be divided into six components:

  • Ministerial salary budget for exempt staff;
  • Ministerial operating budget, which covers all operating expenditures related to the conduct of the portfolio or other official government departmental business;
  • Students salary;
  • Minister's salary and motorcar allowance (controlled separately);
  • Ministerial regional exempt staff and operating budget (if there is regional staff);
  • Ministerial salary and operating budget for the Parliamentary Secretary Assistant .

In addition to the office budget, the Minister will receive $85,500 for their salary and $2,000 for their car allowance as a statutory allowance which is not directly managed by the Minister's office.

Please note that Ministers are individually responsible and accountable for dealing with all public inquiries about the expenditures made from their office budgets, including publicly justifying them if the need arises.

BUDGET TRANSFERS AND THE CARRY FORWARD OF UNSPENT FUNDS

Ministers cannot exceed their budget. However, funds can be transferred between salary budgets and operating budgets.

FINANCIAL AUTHORITIES

You may choose to delegate, pursuant to the Financial Administration Act, financial authorities for expenditures to your Chief of Staff or other exempt staff. Please note that:
