Minister’s message

Portrait of the Honourable Steven Guilbeault

I am pleased to present Canadian Heritage’s report on fees for 2024-25.

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 invite you to read this report prepared by the Department of Canadian Heritage under the Service Fees Act. I am pleased that Canadian Heritage is supporting open and transparent fee management, as reflected in this report.

The Honourable Steven Guilbeault, P.C., M.P.
Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture and Minister responsible for Official Languages

About this report

This report, which is tabled under section 20 of the Service Fees Act, the Low-Materiality Fees Regulations, and subsection 4.2.9 of the Treasury Board Directive on Charging and Special Financial Authorities, contains information about the fees Canadian Heritage had the authority to charge in fiscal year 2024-25.

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 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.
3. Market rate or auction
The authority to set these fees comes from an act of Parliament or a regulation, and the minister, department or Governor in Council has no control in determining 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. For fees set by contract, the report provides totals only and Canadian Heritage did not have fees set by market rate or auction.

Fees charged by Canadian Heritage under the Access to Information Act are not subject to the Service Fees Act and are not included in this report. Information on Canadian Heritage’s access to information fees can be found in our annual report to Parliament on the administration of the Access to Information Act Plans and reports-Canadian Heritage.

Remissions

In 2024-25, Canadian Heritage was subject to the requirements to issue remissions under section 7 of the Service Fees Act and subsection 4.2.4 of the Treasury Board Directive on Charging and Special Financial Authorities to remit a fee, in whole or in part, to a fee payer when a service standard was not met. In 2024-25, Canadian Heritage established its service standards and a remission policy and procedures, pursuant to the Service Fees Act. Remission amounts are not reflected in this report but will be applied effective April 1st, 2025.
