Fees Report 2022 to 2023

Minister's message

I am pleased to present our report on fees for the fiscal year 2022–23 on behalf of Indigenous Services Canada (ISC).

This year's report once again provides detailed information to Parliament and Canadians about the fees ISC collects, in keeping with ISC's ongoing commitment to open and transparent fee management. Because none of the fees under ISC's authority are set by act, regulation or fees notice, this report only presents fees that are set by contract. The amount in this report represents a residual amount from an expired contract.

Thank you for your interest in this report.

The Honourable Patty Hajdu, P.C., M.P.
Minister of Indigenous Services

About this report

This report, which is tabled under section 20 of the Service Fees Act, the Low Materiality Fees Regulations, and subsection 4.2.8 of the Treasury Board Directive on Charging and Special Financial Authorities, contains information about the fees Indigenous Services Canada had the authority to set in fiscal year 2022–23.

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 over the fee amount.

No fees under Indigenous Services Canada'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.

Although the fees that Indigenous Services Canada charges under the Access to Information Act were subject to the Service Fees Act, they are not included in this report. Information on Indigenous Service Canada's access to information fees for 2022–23 is in our Annual Report to Parliament on the administration of the Access to Information Act.

Remissions

In 2022–23, Indigenous Services Canada 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.
