2018-2019 Annual Expenditures for Travel, Hospitality and Conferences

Annual Report on Travel, Hospitality and Conference Expenditures

Northern Pipeline Agency

As required by the Treasury Board Directive on Travel, Hospitality Conferences and Event Expenditures, this report provides information on travel, hospitality and conference expenditures for the Northern Pipeline Agency (the Agency) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, except for information withheld under the Access to Information Act or the Privacy Act.

Travel, hospitality and conference expenditures incurred by a federal department or agency relate to activities that support the department or agency’s mandate and the government’s priorities. 

The Agency was established by the Northern Pipeline Act (Act) in 1978 to facilitate the planning and construction by Foothills Pipe Lines Ltd. (Foothills) of the Canadian portion of the Alaska Highway Gas Pipeline (AHGP) project and to maximize social and economic benefits from its construction and operation while minimizing any adverse effects.

In February 2013, Foothills notified the Agency that no further work is planned on the AHGP for now and will await further commercial interest before recommencing its efforts.

In support and development of its programs and mandate, the Agency normally incurs travel, hospitality and conference expenditures. To align with the reduction in the AHGP project activities for the foreseeable future, the Agency has scaled down its operations to a minimal level while continuing to fulfill Canada’s ongoing obligations as set out in the Act.

For more information on the Agency’s results, see the 2018-19 Departmental Results Report.
