  • A 2008 discussion paper proposing a new cost recovery regime with fixed average fees revealed a strong preference by proponents to pay actual costs vs. average fees.
  • As a result, the Agency is reviewing options for change to its cost recovery regime and will undertake additional consultations with industry sectors whose projects may be subject to review panels and with the multi-stakeholder Regulatory Advisory Committee prior to amending the regime. Consultation input and comments would be reviewed in order to prepare a proposal for tabling in Parliament, under the User Fees Act.
