Expense disclosure

In December 2014, the Legislative Assembly passed the Public Sector and MPP Accountability and Transparency Act, 2014 (external site). This act amended the Legislative Assembly Act (external link) to add section 68, which establishes a duty for the Speaker to post information online about payments made to members of the Legislative Assembly for travel, accommodation, meals, and hospitality expenses.

Rules for the posting of travel, meal, and hospitality expenses for leaders of the opposition and their staff are governed by Cabinet Ministers’ and Opposition Leaders’ Expenses Review and Accountability Act, 2002 (external link) and Public Sector Expenses Review Act, 2009 (external link).

Members' expenses

Members’ expenses disclose travel, hotel accommodation, meal, and hospitality expenses for each MPP. They do not disclose travel within the MPP’s constituency.

Leaders' expenses

Leaders’ expenses disclose all travel, hotel accommodation, meal, and hospitality expenses for leaders of opposition parties and their staff. Please note that the expenses in these disclosures were incurred while members were acting in their capacity as party leaders. Expenses incurred while acting in their role as MPP can be found in their members’ expense disclosures. Expenses for the Premier of Ontario and any ministerial staff can be found on the government of Ontario’s Travel, meal, and hospitality expenses web page (external link).
