EXPLANATORY NOTE

The publication of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency Fees Notice (the Notice) in May 2000 consolidated the majority of the fee setting authorities for the Canadian Food Inspection Agency under the Canadian Food Inspection Agency Act. Prior to the publication of the Notice, most fees were set by Ministerial order under paragraphs 19(1)(b) and 19.1(b) of the Financial Administration Act. Pursuant to the Fish Inspection Act, the Fish Inspection Regulations (FIR) allow for the prescribing of fees for the registration of establishments, issue of licences and grading and inspection services.

In order to maintain consistency in the Canadian Food Inspection Agency's fee setting authority, the attached amendment adds the majority of the fees payable for services previously found in the FIR to the Notice.

References to fees for non-mandatory fish inspection services (i.e. inspection services provided "on request") will be removed from the FIR and will not be added to the Notice. In order to achieve efficiencies in the administration of the fees charged for these types of services, these fees will be charged under agreements made pursuant to section 14 of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency Act. The fee amounts will remain the same and clients who request these inspection services will not see any appreciable difference in the way these fees are administered.

References to fees in relevant provisions of the FIR will be modified by regulation.
