Environment and Climate Change Canada 2023 to 2024 fees report
Minister’s message
The Honourable Steven Guilbeault, P.C., M.P., Minister of Environment and Climate Change
I am pleased to present Environment and Climate Change Canada’s report on fees for 2023–24.
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.
Last year’s report provided details on each fee, such as the type and rate of adjustment, the service standard and the performance result.
This year’s report once again includes factors or events that affected the information in the report, anticipated changes relating to fees, instances when the Department applied section 17 of the Service Fees Act and how many of its fees are subject to the Low-Materiality Fees Regulations as well as information related to remissions.
I welcome the increased transparency and oversight that the Service Fees Act’s reporting regime embodies. I will continue to lead Environment and Climate Change Canada’s transition to the reporting regime provided under the Service Fees Act.
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, 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 Environment and Climate Change Canada 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:
- 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 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.
Fees charged by Environment and Climate Change Canada under the Access to Information Act are not subject to the Service Fees Act and are not included in this report. Information on Environment and Climate Change Canada’s access to information fees can be found in our annual report to Parliament on the administration of the Access to Information Act: Reports tabled in Parliament.
Remissions
In 2023–24, Environment and Climate Changer Canada 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. Environment and Climate Change Canada’s remission policy and procedures, pursuant to the Service Fees Act, are on the following web page: Departmental Remissions Policy for Service Fees.
The other sections of this report provide detailed amounts for Environment and Climate Change Canada’s remissions for 2023–24.
