User Fees
| Fee Type | Regulatory (R) |
|---|---|
| Fee-setting Authority | Canada Grain Act and Schedule 1 to the Canada Grain Regulations |
| Reason for Planned Introduction of or Amendment to Fee | To develop a user fee structure and funding mechanism that eliminates annual ad hoc funding and to develop fair and consistent user fees, service standards and performance measures for CGC services. |
| Effective Date of Planned Change | Amended fees are planned to take effect in the 2013-14 fiscal year. |
| Consultation and Review Process Planned |
The CGC conducted consultations in two phases. In the first phase, held from December 2010 – January 2011, the CGC released a User Fees Consultation Document and held information sessions across Canada. In the second phase, (March, 2011), the CGC released a schedule of individual fees as a part of pre-proposal notification. This was followed by a 30 day official complaint period. It is planned that in 2012 the Minister of AAF will table user fees proposals into both houses of parliament as per the User Fees Act. The CGC also plans to pre-publish the user fees proposal in the Canada Gazette, Part I for further stakeholder comment. The CGC will be establishing a review cycle that will repeat every five years. Issues may also be addressed outside the review cycle as warranted.
