Minister's message

I am pleased to present Public Services and Procurement Canada’s (PSPC) report on fees for 2022 to 2023.

The Service Fees Act provides a modern legislative framework that enables cost-effective delivery of services and, through better reporting to Parliament, improves transparency and oversight.

The report lists fees that support the effective operation of government in delivering services to Canadians, such as procurement, real property management, and official languages.

In 2022 to 2023, there was an increase in demand for immunization programs not related to COVID-19, such as the influenza vaccine. In addition, due to the easing of pandemic restrictions and the return to offices by public servants across the country, parking revenues and revenues for making office space ready for occupancy increased.

I am honoured to present this information on behalf of PSPC in accordance with the provisions of the Service Fees Act.

The Honourable Jean-Yves Duclos, PC, MP
Minister of Public Services and Procurement

About this report

This report, which is tabled under section 20 of the Service Fees Act, the Low-Materiality Fees Regulations and subsection 4.2.8 of the Directive on Charging and Special Financial Authorities, contains information about the fees PSPC had the authority to set in 2022 to 2023 including any that were collected by another departmentfootnote 1.

The report covers fees that are subject to the Service Fees Act.

For reporting purposes, fees must be categorized by fee-setting mechanism. There are 3 mechanisms:

  1. Act, regulation or fees notice:
    • the authority to set these fees is delegated to a department, minister or Governor in Council pursuant to an act of Parliament
  2. Contract:
    • ministers have the inherent authority to enter into contracts, which are usually negotiated between the minister and an individual or organization, and which cover fees and other terms and conditions
    • in some cases, that authority may also be provided by act of Parliament
  3. Market-rate or auction:
    • the authority to set these fees is pursuant to an act of Parliament or regulation, and the minister, department or Governor in Council has no control over the fee amount

For fees set by act, regulation or fees notice, the report provides totals for fee groupings, as well as detailed information for each fee. For fees set by contract, fees set by market-rate, auction, the report provides totals only.

Although the fees that PSPC charges under the Access to Information Act were subject to the Service Fees Act, they are not included in this report. Information on PSPC's access to information fees for 2022 to 2023 is in our annual report to Parliament on the administration of the Access to Information Act, which is posted on our web page: Understanding your right to obtain information.

Remissions

In 2022 to 2023, PSPC was subject to the requirements to issue remissions under section 7 of the Service Fees Act and subsection 4.2.4 of the Treasury Board Directive on Charging and Special Financial Authorities to remit a fee, in whole or in part, to a fee payer when a service standard was deemed not met. PSPC’s remission policy and procedures, pursuant to the Service Fees Act, are on the following web page: Public Services and Procurement Canada’s Policy on Remissions.

Overall totals, by fee setting mechanism

The following table presents the total revenue, cost and remissions for all fees that PSPC had the authority to set in 2022 to 2023, by fee-setting mechanism.

Table 1 Note

Table 1 Note 1

The difference between the revenues and the costs for fees set by market-rate, auction is mainly explained by the fact that the department has no mechanism for tracking costs associated with parking fees.
