Federal departments who bring back retired public servants collecting pensions on contract and pay them more than $10,000 will now have to disclose those contracts publicly.
Treasury Board president Tony Clement said the proactive disclosure reports are a step towards more transparency.
Government departments are already required to report contracts over $10,000.
Under the changes, departments will have to internally flag those contracts within their own financial and contracting systems if they are given to retired public servants receiving a pension, and publicly disclose that the contract was awarded to a retired pensioner.
Clement said while some former public servants have valuable experience that departments might need, he wants to curb a practice perceived as "double-dipping" unless it is necessary.
'This should not be the norm' Clement says
"Canadians want to know that public servants who are already receiving a pension have an unusual expertise that justifies this unusual situation, so this should not be the norm," said Clement.
"One of the ways one controls how many times this does occur is by being transparent about it and being accountable for it and publishing proactively when it does occur," he said.
Many of the contracts federal departments already disclose are to companies, however, and not individuals.
Clement said when it's the case that the "driving mind" behind the company is a former public servant receiving a pension, that would be noted in the disclosure of the contract.
The measures will take effect on January 1st, 2013.
