Governance and Policies
Governance
The Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) portfolio governance structure is comprised of several executive committees that play a key role in supporting the legislative mandate, and the policy, program and service delivery priorities of the Portfolio. In addition to supporting decision-making, these committees provide a venue to ensure the use of horizontal approaches and coordination of activities across the Portfolio.
Of importance to the Investment Management Process are the Portfolio Management Board (PMB), the Major Projects and Investments Board (MPIB), and the Director General Project Oversight Committee (DG POC). For more information on the mandates of these governing bodies, please refer to ESDCs Policy on Project and Programme Management and associated directives and standards.
Here you will find all the Record of Decisions (RoDs) from each MPIB meeting:
