Most costs incurred for the CNSC’s regulatory activities are recovered by the federal government from licensees under the CNSC Cost Recovery Fees Regulations (2003). Prior to 2008-2009, 100% of the fees collected by the CNSC were credited directly to the Consolidated Revenue Fund and were not considered a source of respendable revenue for the CNSC. In 2007-2008 the CNSC received approval from Treasury Board granting revenue spending authority commencing in 2008-2009. This is being phased in over a two year period with full implementation of revenue spending authority for all cost recoverable activities effective 2009-2010. This will enable the CNSC to address the growth associated with fee paying licensees. In 2008-2009 the CNSC recovered approximately $87.0 million of its total operating costs from cost recoverable activities, with approximately $15.5 million of those fees re-spendable under the new revenue spending authority (excluding $3.6 million in costs for employee benefit plans (EBP) and services provided without charge from other government departments).
