Sub-series consists of memoranda drafted by Office of the Prime Minister (PMO) - Policy unit staff between 2011 and 2015. The memoranda brief Prime Minister Stephen Harper on topics to be discussed or that had been recently discussed at meetings of the Cabinet Committee on Priorities and Planning (P&P) and, to a lesser extent, the Cabinet Committee on National Security (CCNS). Both committees were chaired by the Prime Minister. Contemporary accounts describe the roles of each committee as follows: P&P "ratifies strategic direction on government priorities and expenditure management, ratifies committee recommendations and approves appointments"; CCNS "Provides broad strategic direction for security and foreign policy related to Canada's national interest, and oversees Canada's national security response activities."

Many of the memoranda within this sub-series exist in multiple iterations labelled with terms such as "final", "good to go" (edited drafts) or "returns" (records bearing the Prime Minister's annotations). In addition to the memoranda, the sub-series also includes committee agendas, letters to Ministers, supporting documentation and appendices. Memos drafted by staff in other areas of the PMO (e.g. Parliamentary Affairs, Communications) are sometimes present.
