User Fees
On March 31, 2004, Parliament gave legal effect to the User Fees Act with the aim of strengthening the elements of accountability, oversight, and transparency in the management of user fee activities. The User Fees Act requires departments to annually submit to Parliament a list of all user fees in effect, irrespective of when the fees were established.
The table below lists DFO's user fees for which revenues were collected during the fiscal year 2010-11. Since the establishment of the User Fees Act, DFO has not introduced any new user fees, nor has the Department increased any existing user fees.
DFO collects fees for the conferring of Rights and Privileges (Regulatory - R) and for Other Goods and Services (O).
Note: Performance standards under the User Fees Act must be established as part of a user fee proposal process, with specific provisions outlining how the standards are to be established. DFO has not introduced new user fees, nor introduced amendments to existing ones that would require a user fee proposal under the Act; and has no such information to report. Information on DFO's service standards for current fees and performance results can be found in the table on External Fees.
Maintenance Dredging Services Tonnage Fee1
Description: Intended to recover from commercial vessels the total direct costs incurred by CCG to manage maintenance dredging services in the St. Lawrence Shipping Channel. Services provided consist of the management of the maintenance dredging program for the St. Lawrence Shipping Channel.
Fee Type: O
Fee-setting Authority: Section 47 of the Oceans Act
Date Last Modified: 2003
1 Since 1997, and at the request of industry, the Canadian Coast Guard has managed the maintenance dredging of the navigation channel of the St. Lawrence River between the Port of Montreal and the Île aux Coudres near Quebec City. The current fee schedule, which replaces the earlier fee schedule that expired on March 31, 2003, extends the arrangement whereby the Canadian Coast Guard is reimbursed, via fees, for the total direct costs it incurs to ensure commercial navigation. Full cost figures are based on total direct costs (rather than full costs), which include direct labour costs (including employee benefits), direct operating costs, direct material costs, program support costs, and capital acquisitions (to the extent that these capital acquisitions form part of an output).
