Case number

• 2014-008 (F&R Date: 2014–07–28)

Description

Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members who are relocated in a different country are sometimes obliged to have their personal motor vehicle (PMV) inspected and/or modified to meet the host country’s motor vehicle specifications. While the cost of the inspection and the required modifications are reimbursed by the CAF under the current relocation policy, the costs of any additional car rental necessitated while the PMV is undergoing the modification is not reimbursed under the current policy.

Recommendation

The Committee recommended that the Chief of the Defence Staff direct the Chief of Military Personnel to approach the Treasury Board Secretariat and request that the Canadian Forces Integrated Relocation Program directive be amended to include these additional rental costs.

Final Authority Decision

Case withdrawn at Final Authority level.
