Remissions
This report does not include remissions issued under the authority of the Service Fees Act, since this requirement took effect on April 1, 2021. Remissions issued under the Service Fees Act will be reported for the first time, as applicable, in the 2021–22 Fees Report, which will be published in 2022–23.
The Service Fees Act requires departments to remit a fee, in part or in full, to a fee payer when a service standard is deemed not met. Under the Service Fees Act and the Directive on Charging and Special Financial Authorities, departments had to develop policies and procedures for determining:
- whether a service standard has been met
- how much of a fee will be remitted to a fee payer if a service standard is deemed not met
The “Overall totals for 2020-21, by fee-setting mechanism” presents the total remissions by fee‑setting mechanism. The “Totals, by fee grouping, for fees set by act, regulation or fees notice” provides further details related to remissions that were issued under the Department of Justice’s enabling legislation in 2020–21.
