Minister's message

The Honourable Steven Guilbeault

I am pleased to present the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada’s report on fees for 2021–22.

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 Steven Guilbeault, P.C., M.P.
Minister of Environment and Climate Change

About this report

This report, which is tabled under section 20 of the Service Fees Act Endnoteii, the Low-Materiality Fees Regulations Endnoteiii, and subsection 4.2.8 of the Directive on Charging and Special Financial Authorities Endnoteiv, contains information about the fees that the Agency had the authority to set in 2021–22.

The report covers fees that are subject to the Service Fees Act and exempted from the Service Fees Act.

For reporting purposes, fees are categorized by fee-setting mechanism. There are three mechanisms:

  1. 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.
  2. Contract
    Ministers have the 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.
  3. 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. The Agency did not have fees set by contract, market rate or auction.

Although the fees the Agency charges under the Access to Information Act were subject to the Service Fees Act, they are not included in this report. Information on the Agency’s access to information fees for 2021–22 is in our annual report to Parliament on the administration of the Access to Information Act: Transparency Endnotev.

Remissions

In 2021–22, the Agency was not subject to the requirements in section 7 of the Service Fees Act and subsection 4.2.4 of the Treasury Board Directive on Charging and Special Financial Authorities and had no authority to remit, so this report does not include remissions.

Overall totals, by fee-setting mechanism

The following table presents the total revenue, cost and remissions for all fees that the Agency had the authority to set in 2021–22, by fee-setting mechanism.
