Other Information:
(1) The DPR instructions advised that this table be used only for revenues under the User Fee Act (UFA). The advice from our legal counsel indicated that only the CALA program as well as the fees charged under ATIA are subject to the UFA.
(2) During 2009-2010 the FIMCLA program has been modified and replaced with the CALA program, allowing for larger loans to a broader audience.
Some of the new changes that are contained in the CALA are:
- beginning farmers, who were previously ineligible under the FIMCLA, are now eligible under the CALA to receive guaranteed loans for up to 90% of the appraised value or purchase price of the asset;
- beginning and existing farmers, and agricultural co-operatives may be eligible for new loan guarantee limits of up to $500,000, with $500,000 available for real property (land and buildings) and $350,000 available for all other purposes;
- agricultural co-operatives with a majority farmer membership (50% + one farmer members) may be eligible for loans of up to $3 million for the processing, marketing or distribution of the products of farming; and
- loans to help inter-generational transfer of farms are now an eligible loan purpose which will help young farmers more easily take over the family farm.
(3) It is the Department's practice to waive fees where the total owing per request amounts to less than $25.
Notes:
According to prevailing legal opinion, where the corresponding fee introduction or most recent modification occurred prior to March 31, 2004:
- the performance standard, if provided, may not have received Parliamentary review;
- the performance standard, if provided, may not respect all establishment requirements under the UFA (e.g. international comparison; independent complaint address); and
- the performance result, if provided, is not legally subject to UFA section 5.1 regarding fee reduction for failed performance.
