Common use of Scope and Responsibilities Clause in Contracts

Scope and Responsibilities. The revised Act now applies to all government employees, and certain aspects apply to government appointees (Order in Council appointees) and Agency Employees. TVO employees and appointees are considered Public Servants for the purposes of the Act. Each organization must appoint an “ethics executive”. The role of the ethics executive is to ensure that the policies and procedures under the PSOA are followed, and to adjudicate in the event of conflict. The most senior executive officer is the ethics executive for the organization—in TVO’s case this is the CEO. Each Employee has an obligation under the Act to follow the policy and procedures.
