APPENDIX A — COST RECOVERY POLICY

Part 1 — Federal Regulations and the Regulations Section — An Overview (continued)

1. Services funded solely by the budget that the Department of Justice allocates to the Regulations Section

• Examination, and drafting from instructions, of proposed regulations that are not especially urgent.

• Examination, and drafting from instructions, of proposed regulations that the Regulatory Affairs Division, Treasury Board Secretariat, classifies as files having priority over the other files that are funded solely by the Regulations Section's budget.

• The consultations, held in connection with most files, that are preparatory to the drafting of proposed regulations. They may take place in writing, by telephone or in person, and include consultations on bills at the drafting stage.

• Examination of all orders in council and advice to the staff of the Assistant Clerk of the Privy Council.

• Participation in client training.

2. Services funded in part by the budget that the Department of Justice allocates to the Regulations Section and in part by resources provided by the client's Departmental Legal Services Unit (DLSU) or by the client itself

• Exclusivity of service from teams of lawyers who work on the examination and the drafting from instructions of all proposed regulations from a particular client. In these cases, the Section calculates the resources that it will provide to the client free of charge by taking the average resources that the Section has allocated to that client over the past five years.

• The services of a Regulations Section lawyer who is teamed up with a DLSU counsel, a lawyer working for the client or a lawyer in private practice who is retained by the client.

3. Services funded wholly by the client

• The services provided to a client who wants its file to have priority over the files funded only by the Regulations Section budget, when the file has not been classified as a priority by the Director, Regulatory Affairs Division — in other words, when the file is a priority for the client but not necessarily for the Government.

• Services relating to projets for which Treasury Board has allocated regulatory drafting resources to the client.
