Minister's message
On behalf of Indigenous Services, I am pleased to present the report on fees for fiscal year 2018 to 2019, my organization's first annual report under the Service Fees Act.
The act provides a modern legislative framework that enables cost-effective delivery of services and, through better reporting to Parliament, improves transparency and oversight.
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.
Minister of Indigenous Services
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 Indigenous Services had the authority to charge in the 2018 to 2019 fiscal year.
This report contains information about all fees that are under Indigenous Services 'authority, even if some or all of the fees are collected by another department.
The information reported includes fees that:
- fall under the Service Fees Act
- are exempt from the Service Fees Act
The information covers fees set by:
- contract
- market-base, auction or both
- act, regulation or fees notice
For fees set by the following mechanisms, the report provides totals only:
- contract
- market-base, auction or both
For fees set by act, regulation or fees notice, the report provides totals for fee groupings, as well as detailed information for each individual fee.
Although the fees charged by Indigenous Services under the Access to Information Act are subject to the Service Fees Act, they are not included in this report. Information on Indigenous Services's access to information fees for fiscal year 2018 to 2019 can be found in our access to information report, which is posted on Access to Information and Privacy - Publication and Reports.
Remissions
A remission is a partial or full return of a fee to a fee payer who paid for a service for which a department deemed that the service standard was not met. For 2018 to 2019, the fees of Indigenous Services are set by contract only and therefore remissions do not apply to this fee type.
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. This requirement does not take effect until April 1, 2020. This report therefore includes only those remissions issued under Indigenous Services's enabling legislation. It does not include remissions issued under the Service Fees Act.
