Minister's message

I am pleased to present Public Services and Procurement Canada’s report on fees for 2024 to 2025.

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.

The report lists fees that support the effective operation of government in delivering services to Canadians, such as procurement, real property management and official languages.

I am honoured to present this information on behalf of the department in accordance with the provisions of the Service Fees Act.

The Honourable Joël Lightbounds, P.C., MP

Minister of Government Transformation, Public Works and Procurement

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 Directive on Charging and Special Financial Authorities, contains information about the fees Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) had the authority to charge in 2024 to 2025.

The report covers fees that are subject to the Service Fees Act.

For reporting purposes, fees are categorized by fee-setting mechanism. There are 3 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 is pursuant to an act of Parliament or regulation, and the minister, department or Governor in Council has no control over 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. PSPC did not have fees set by market rate or auction.

Fees charged by PSPC under the Access to Information Act are not subject to the Service Fees Act and are not included in this report. Information on PSPC's access to information fees can be found in our annual report to Parliament on the administration of the Access to Information Act: Annual reports on the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

Remissions

Service Fees Act authority

In 2024 to 2025, PSPC 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 deemed not met. PSPC’s remission policy and procedures, pursuant to the Service Fees Act, are on the following web page: Public Services and Procurement Canada’s policy on remissions.

The other sections of this report provide detailed amounts for PSPC’s remissions for 2024 to 2025.

Overall totals, by fee-setting mechanism

The following table presents the total revenue, cost and remissions for all fees PSPC had the authority to charge in 2024 to 2025, by fee-setting mechanism.

Table 1 Note

Table 1 Note 1

The difference between the revenues and the costs for fees set by contract is mainly explained by the fact that the department has no mechanism for tracking costs associated with parking fees.
