In 2004, DFO established the External Charging Review. The Review was established to provide the Department with a consistent and coherent approach to revenue management, something that had long been recognized as a priority. This has been achieved, in part, by:

  • Establishing an External Charging Framework, including a corporate vision and principles to support integrated and consistent evaluation and decision-making on external charging;
  • Assessing all aspects of DFO's current external charges and examining options based on the results of this analysis; and
  • Producing a guide to external charging for all DFO personnel.

DFO implemented its External Charging Framework in 2007-2008. The framework provides the necessary foundation for DFO's corporate approach to external charging. This year, the Department will, among other things, prepare a guide to external charging for departmental managers. It will also continue to review its user fees.
