Whats the process for making changes to an existing corporate policy?
Any change to the content of a corporate policy must be authorized by the originating department or government entity, i.e., the owner of the content. Policy owners are to consult with the Manager, Executive Council Office and the Deputy Minister of Treasury Board to determine if a proposed revision is significant enough, i.e., material, to require review again by the Executive Council. Revisions considered to be material are to follow the same approval process as for new corporate policies (see How is a new corporate policy approved?). For revisions of a “housekeeping” nature, i.e., not material, approval by the deputy minister/deputy head/CEO for the department / government entity is required. Once revisions are approved, forward the revised policy to the Manager, Executive Council Office for publication.
