| 5.8 Committee Decisions Once a Cabinet committee has concluded its deliberations, it will issue a Committee Recommendation (CR. This forms the committee’s recommendation as to what decisions should betaken by Cabinet or by a committee that has been delegated the ability to ratify or approve other committees recommendations. The CR is based on the recommendations put forward by the sponsoring Minister but can be altered by the committee. The CR is then submitted to Cabinet or ratifying committee for its consideration. A Record of Decision (RD) is then issued that either endorses the CR or amends it. CRs and RDs are prepared and circulated by PCO to all Ministers and Deputy Ministers. CRs and RDs are Cabinet confidences and are classified no lower than SECRET. Additional approvals maybe required following a Cabinet decision. For example, it maybe necessary to obtain a source of funds or to obtain Treasury Board approval prior to implementation. TBS can provide additional information on Treasury Board requirements. Similarly, PCO can provide advice on any Governor in Council approvals that maybe needed. Initiatives should not be announced until all approvals are in place. Announcements should be coordinated with PMO and with PCO. Download 117.33 Kb. Share with your friends:
