What it does
The Commissioner provides confidential advice to Public Office Holders and Members about how to comply with the Conflict of Interest Act and the Conflict of Interest Code for Members of Parliament. The Commissioner receives and reviews confidential reports and makes information available to the public. The Commissioner may conduct an inquiry to determine whether a present or former Public Office Holder has breached the Act. She is also mandated to provide confidential advice to the Prime Minister about conflict of interest and ethics issues. This program activity benefits Canadians by minimizing the possibility of conflicts arising between the private interests and public duties of Public Office Holders and Members providing for the resolution of those conflicts in the public interest should they arise, and demonstrating to the public that Public Office Holders and Members are held to standards that place the public interest ahead of their private interests.

History and lineage
First appears in GC InfoBase's actual spending by program in 2018-19. The data does not record when a program was created; it may be older than its first appearance here, which is limited by the sources (program spending starts in 2010-11, Departmental Plans in 2018-19).
| Program | Relation | Years with data | Actual spending over those years |
|---|---|---|---|
| Administration and Interpretation of the Conflict of Interest Act and the Conflict of Interest Code for Members of the House of Commons | This program | 2018-19 – 2024-25 | $33.7M |
No earlier or later program in the same department has a similar name.
