5. Process for Developing Cabinet Documents 5.1 Central Agency Consultations Early drafts of MCs, presentations and aide-mémoires should be shared with the appropriate PCO, Department of Finance and TBS analysts. Consulting with central agencies at an early stage helps ensure that the proposal is aligned with the Government’s overall agenda, and to identify any policy, fiscal and implementation issues that should be addressed before the document is submitted. Unless otherwise agreed with PCO, drafters must hold at least one meeting with central agency analysts well before documents are submitted for Cabinet consideration. This meeting should be scheduled in consultation with PCO.
