    Public Registry of Designated Travellers In accordance with the Members By-law, a Member of the House of Commons may designate one person, other than the Member’s employee or another Member who is not the Member’s spouse, as their designated traveller. The Clerk of the House of Commons maintains the Public Registry of Designated Travellers. This list discloses each Member’s designated traveller. If a Member chooses not to have a designated traveller, that Member’s name does not appear on the Public Registry of Designated Travellers. The Registry may include former Members as it also contains the names of Members whose expenditures are reported in the Members’ Expenditures Report for the current fiscal year if they ceased to be a Member on or after April 1, 2015 (the start of the current fiscal year). Members are able to change their designated traveller once every 365 days, at the beginning of a new Parliament, or if the designated traveller dies. The Public Registry of Designated Travellers is updated on a quarterly basis. Registre public des voyageurs désignés Conformément au Règlement administratif relatif aux députés, un député de la Chambre des communes peut désigner une personne comme voyageur désigné sauf ses employés ou un député dont il n’est pas le conjoint. La greffière de la Chambre des communes tient le Registre public des voyageurs désignés. Cette liste indique le nom du voyageur désigné de chaque député. Si un député préfère ne pas avoir de voyageur désigné, le nom du député ne figurera pas dans le Registre public des voyageurs désignés.

  • Consent and Statement of Understanding Regarding Telepsychology (On-Line Sessions)
    Consent and Statement of Understanding Regarding Telepsychology (On-Line Sessions) Dr. Tatiana Nedecheva, C.Psych. Ottawa West Professional Services 100 Craig Henry Drive, Suite 101 Ottawa, Ontario, K2G 5W3 Phone: 613-899-2118 / Fax:613-421-0187 Websites: www.ottawawestpros.coM and www.drtnedecheva.coM I understand that live videoconferencing or telepsychology sessions are an option in which Dr. Tatiana Nedecheva and I may use the internet on various electronic devices and will be able to see and hear each other and interact in real time to engage in therapy or consultation. I understand that I need to be an Ontario resident to receive on-line telepsychology services from Dr. Tatiana Nedecheva. I understand that at times, videoconferencing may be one way to attend appointments when I cannot physically be present in my therapist’s office due to several factors, including but not limited to: travel outside the province, recovering from an illness and not being able to travel, lack of access to transportation to the office, when weather or public health advisories against travel are issued, etc. I understand there may be advantages and benefits to telepsychology. For example, telepsychology can reduce barriers to access, such as living in a remote community, mobility issues, and an inability to take time off work. It also reduces travel time. I understand there are also potential risks to using technology including interruptions to sessions and technical difficulties. I understand that Dr. Tatiana Nedecheva or I can discontinue the telepsychology session if it is felt that the videoconferencing connection is inadequate for the session.
