Minister's message

The Honourable Patty Hajdu, Minister of Health

On behalf of Health Canada, I am pleased to present our report on fees for fiscal year 2019-20, my organization's third annual report under the Service Fees Act.

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.

This year's report includes the revision of the fees with respect to drugs and medical devices. Effective April 1, 2020, where indicated, fees were repealed from the Financial Administration Act and set under the authority of the Food and Drugs Act. In some instances, new fees were introduced and some fees were discontinued.

Cannabis fees were introduced on October 17, 2018 in support of the legalization, strict regulation and restriction on access to cannabis under the Cannabis Act. This year's report is the first time a full year of collections related to cannabis fees is reported. The amount recovered is expected to increase year over year as the legal industry grows, matures and stabilizes. By 2021-22, Health Canada aims to recover as much as 100 percent of annual regulatory costs.

I welcome the increased transparency and oversight that the Service Fees Act's reporting regime embodies, and I am fully committed to transitioning my department to this modern framework. I will continue to advance my key mandate priorities through collaboration and evidence-based decision-making that will maintain and improve the health and safety of all Canadians.

The Honourable Patty Hajdu,
Minister of Health

About this report

This report, which is tabled under section 20 of the Service Fees Act and section 4.2.8 of the Directive on Charging and Special Financial Authorities, contains information about the fees that Health Canada had the authority to set in 2019-20.

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 or both
    • 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 Health Canada's authority, including any that are collected by another department.

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

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

Although the fees that Health Canada charges under the Access to Information Act are subject to the Service Fees Act, they are not included in this report. Information on Health Canada's access to information fees for 2019-20 can be found in our access to information report, which is posted on our website.

Remissions

A remission is a partial or full return of a fee to a fee payer who paid for a service.

Under the Service Fees Act, departments must develop policies for determining whether a service standard has been met and for determining how much of a fee will be remitted to a fee payer if a service standard is not met. This requirement will not take effect until April 1, 2021, therefore this report does not include remissions issued under the Service Fees Act.

Under the Cannabis Act, the Minister may, by order, remit all or part of any fee fixed by the Minister under subsection 142(1) of the Cannabis Act. During 2019-20 the Minister of Health, pursuant to subsection 144(1) of the Cannabis Act, via the Cannabis for Medical Purposes Remission Order, remitted fees paid by certain stakeholders due to an oversight with how the Cannabis Fees Order was worded, which resulted in some otherwise eligible licence holders not qualifying for the exemption in the year they were first licenced to sell cannabis for medical purposes. Going forward, this oversight was corrected via the Order Amending the Cannabis Fees Order (Exemptions - Sale for Medical Purposes).

However according to TBS fees that are set and published (ie: in Canada Gazette) are known as "fees set by fees notice" and therefore are to be reported as "Fees set by act, regulation or fees notice".

Drug Establishment Licensing Fees

Any person in Canada must obtain a Drug Establishment Licence (DEL) if they are engaged in any of the six regulated activities (fabricate, import, distribute, wholesale, package/label, and test) with respect to human and/or veterinary drugs. A fee is charged for the examination of a DEL application, including all compliance and enforcement and supporting activities needed to ensure that the applicant/licence holder conforms to all regulatory requirements. The DEL fee is calculated on a component basis; therefore, the fee amount varies by application. A DEL fee is charged for the application for a new DEL, an annual licence review of a DEL, certain amendments to a DEL, reinstatement of a suspended DEL, or re-activation of a cancelled or withdrawn DEL.

As of April 1, 2020, a more simplified DEL fee regime was introduced, as indicated in the tables below.
