Minister’s message
On behalf of the National Battlefields Commission, I am pleased to present the 2018 to 2019 Report on Fees, this organization’s second annual report under the Service Fees Act.
The Act provides a modern legislative framework that enables cost-effective delivery of services, as well as improved transparency and oversight through enhanced reporting to Parliament.
Last year, a detailed listing of all fees under the organization’s authority, along with anticipated increases, was added to reporting requirements.
This year’s report provides more detail on each fee, such as the type and rate of adjustment, the service standard, and the performance result. This information provides additional context on each fee, in the spirit of open and transparent fee management.
I welcome the increased transparency and oversight reflected in this report, which was prepared in accordance with the Service Fees Act.
The Honourable Steven Guilbeault, P.C., M.P.
Minister of Canadian Heritage
About this report
This report, which is tabled under section 20 of the Service Fees Act and section 4.2.8 of the Directive on Charging and Special Financial Authorities, contains information about the fees that the National Battlefields Commission had the authority to charge in the 2018 to 2019 fiscal year.
This report contains information about all fees that are under the National Battlefields Commission’s authority, even if some or all of the fees are collected by another department.
The information reported includes fees that:
- fall under the Service Fees Act
- are exempt from the Service Fees Act
The information covers fees set by:
- contract
- market-base, auction or both
- act, regulation or fees notice
For fees set by the following mechanisms, the report provides totals only:
- contract
- market-base, auction or both
For fees set by act, regulation or fees notice, the report provides totals for fee groupings, as well as detailed information for each individual fee.
Although the fees charged by the National Battlefields Commission under the Access to Information Act are subject to the Service Fees Act, they are not included in this report. Information on the National Battlefields Commission’s access to information fees for fiscal year 2018 to 2019 can be found in our access to information report, which is posted on http://www.ccbn-nbc.gc.ca/en/about-us/reports-and-policies/#access-info.
Remissions
A remission is a partial or full return of a fee to a fee payer who paid for a service for which a department deemed that the service standard was not met.
Under the Service Fees Act, departments must develop policies for determining whether a service standard has been met and for determining how much of a fee will be remitted to a fee payer. This requirement does not take effect until April 1, 2020. This report therefore includes only those remissions issued under the National Battlefields Commission’s enabling legislation. It does not include remissions issued under the Service Fees Act.
