Broader Public Sector Accountability Act

In 2010, the Government of Ontario passed the Broader Public Sector Accountability Act (BPSAA). This Act requires hospital Presidents & CEOs to sign a document annually verifying that they will comply with the rules outlined in the BPSAA. These rules relate to the use of consultants, the prohibition against using public funds to pay for lobbyists, and the directives on expense claims and procurement. This document is referred to as an attestation.
