A regulatory authority is provided in paragraph 12(c.1) of the Act whereby the Governor in Council may designate, individually or by class, additional positions as being occupied by “designated public office holders,” if doing so is necessary for the purposes of the Act. This authority allows for the scope of the “designated public office holder” category to be increased by prescribing positions associated with high-level government decision-making that are not set out in the statutory definition.
