Department of National Defence Fees Report Fiscal year 2023–24

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 Department of National Defence had the authority to charge in fiscal year 2023–24.

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:

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 in determining the fee amount.

No fees under Department of National Defence’s authority are set by act, regulation or fees notice. This report therefore only covers fees set by contract. It provides total revenue and costs only.

Fees charged by the Department of National Defence under the Access to Information Act are not subject to the Service Fees Act and are not included in this report. Information on Department of National Defence’s access to information fees can be found in our annual report to Parliament on the administration of the Access to Information Act Reports and publications.

Remissions

In 2023–24, the Department of National Defence 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.
