Minister’s message
I am pleased to present the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada’s (FCAC) report on fees for 2022–23.
The Service Fees Act provides a modern legislative framework that enables cost-effective delivery of services and, through better reporting to Parliament, improves transparency and oversight.
The Honourable Chrystia Freeland P.C., M.P.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance
About this report
This report, which is tabled under section 20 of the Service Fees Act, the Low Materiality Fees Regulations, and subsection 4.2.8 of the Treasury Board Directive on Charging and Special Financial Authorities, contains information about the fees FCAC had the authority to set in fiscal year 2022–23.
The report covers fees that are subject to the Service Fees Act.
For reporting purposes, fees are categorized by fee-setting mechanism. There are three mechanisms:
- Act, regulation or fees notice
The authority to set these fees is delegated to a department, minister or Governor in Council pursuant to an act of Parliament. - Contract
Ministers have the inherent authority to enter into contracts, which are usually negotiated between the minister and an individual or organization, and which cover fees and other terms and conditions. In some cases, that authority may also be provided by an act of Parliament. - Market rate or auction
The authority to set these fees is pursuant to an act of Parliament or a regulation, and the minister, department or Governor in Council has no control over the fee amount.
For fees set by act, regulation or fees notice, the report provides totals for fee groupings, as well as detailed information for each fee. FCAC did not have fees set by contract, market rate or auction.
Although the fees FCAC charges under the Access to Information Act were subject to the Service Fees Act, they are not included in this report. Information on FCAC’s access to information fees for 2022–23 is in our annual report to Parliament on the administration of the Access to Information Act (Access to Information and Privacy reports at Financial Consumer Agency).
Remissions
In 2022–23, FCAC was not subject to the requirements in section 7 of the Service Fees Act and had no authority to remit, so this report does not include remission amounts.
Overall totals, by fee-setting mechanism
The following table presents the total revenue, cost and remissions for all fees FCAC had the authority to set in 2022–23, by fee-setting mechanism.
Fee-setting mechanism | Revenue ($) | Cost ($) | Remissions ($) |
---|---|---|---|
Fees set by act, regulation or fees notice | 44,804,503 | 44,804,503 | These fees were not subject to remissions. |
Totals, by fee grouping, for fees set by act, regulation or fees notice
A fee grouping is a set of fees relating to a single business line, directorate or program that a department had the authority to set for those activities.
This section presents, for each fee grouping, the total revenue, cost and remissions for all fees FCAC had the authority to set in 2022–23 that are set by the following:
- act
- regulation
Revenue ($) | Cost ($) | Remissions ($) |
---|---|---|
44,804,503 | 44,804,503 | These fees were not subject to remissions. |
