Minister’s message

Photo of the Honourable Pablo Rodriguez

On behalf of Canadian Heritage, I am pleased to present our Report on fees for 2020-21.

The Service Fees Act provides a modern legislative framework that enables cost-effective delivery of services, as well as improved transparency and oversight through enhanced reporting to Parliament.

I am pleased that Canadian Heritage is continuing its transition to the reporting regime provided under the Service Fees Act.

The Honourable Pablo Rodriguez, P.C., M.P.

Minister of Canadian Heritage

About this report

This report, which is tabled under section 20 of the Service Fees Act, including the Low-Materiality Fees Regulations and subsection 4.2.8 of the Directive on Charging and Special Financial Authorities, contains information about the fees that Canadian Heritage had the authority to set in 2020-21Footnote 1.

Government of Canada departments may set fees for services, licences, permits, products, the use of facilities, for other authorizations of rights or privileges, or to recover, in whole or in part, costs incurred in relation to a regulatory scheme.

For reporting purposes, fees must be categorized under the following three fee-setting mechanisms:

  1. Act, regulation or fees notice:
    • An act of Parliament delegates the fee-setting authority to a department, minister or Governor in Council.
  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 regulation, and the minister, department or Governor in Council has no control over the fee amount.

This report contains information about all fees that are under Canadian Heritage’s authority.

The information covers fees subject to the Service Fees Act and exempted from the Service Fees Act.

For fees set by contract and fees set by market rate or auction, the report provides totals only. For fees set by act, regulation or fees notice, the report provides totals for fee groupings, as well as detailed information for each fee.

Although the fees that Canadian Heritage charges under the Access to Information Act were subject to the Service Fees Act, they are not included in this report. Information on Canadian Heritage’s access to information fees for 2019–20 can be found in our access to information report, which is posted on our Web page: the Plans and reports – Canadian HeritageFootnote 2.

Remissions

This report does not include remissions issued under the authority of the Service Fees Act, since this requirement took effect on April 1, 2021. Remissions issued under the Service Fees Act will be reported for the first time, as applicable, in the 2021–22 Fees Report, which will be published in 2022–23.

The Service Fees Act requires departments to remit a fee, in part or in full, to a fee payer when a service standard is deemed not met. Under the Service Fees Act and the Directive on Charging and Special Financial Authorities, departments had to develop policies and procedures for determining:

At the time of this report being tabled, Canadian Heritage is not subject to the requirements pursuant to section 7 of the Service Fees Act and its related instruments and therefore it does not have a remission policy.
