| 4.4 Aide-mémoires Aide-mémoires provide factual information and analysis in support of Ministers exploratory discussions of non-decision items. As noted above, aide-mémoires can also be used in conjunction with an MC to provide additional in-depth information on complex policy issues. There are no formal information or format requirements for an aide-mémoire and they are not formally signed by the sponsoring Ministers. In terms of content, drafters should ensure that the subject matter is clearly set out and that information, evidence and analysis are provided in a concise and neutral fashion. Drafters may also refer to the requirements for MCs and presentations for guidance in terms of considerations and content. Similar to presentations, 18 aide-mémoires supporting strategic or preliminary policy discussion should not be brought forward except at the request of the Prime Minister. The preparation and submission of aide-mémoires follow the same process as other Cabinet documents. Drafters should discuss the proposed aide-mémoire with their PCO analyst at the earliest opportunity and hold central agencies and interdepartmental meetings in advance of its submission to PCO.
