REGULATORY IMPACT ANALYSIS STATEMENT

Description

These amendments to the Employment Insurance Regulations (EI Regulations) are required to implement a system to allow the Canada Employment Insurance Commission (the Commission) to charge interest on debts that are owed to the Employment Insurance Account.

On March 28, 1996, the Treasury Board Secretariat put into place new Regulations (Interest and Administrative Charges Regulations, SOR/96-188) which required that government departments charge interest on all amounts that are outstanding. These measures were put in place to encourage debtors to repay amounts owing to the Crown more quickly and thereby to reduce the costs that the federal government had to bear with regard to these outstanding debts.

The changes to section 56 of the EI Regulations include interest amounts in the existing write-off provisions, and the addition of section 56.1 permits the Commission to charge interest on outstanding debts in conformity with Treasury Board guidelines. In addition, paragraph 54(k) and section 80.1 of the Employment Insurance Act (EI Act) give the Commission authority, with the approval of the Governor in Council, to make regulations on the requirement to pay interest on debts due to the employment insurance (EI) funds.

The characteristics of the EI Interest Program are as follows:

— Interest will be charged only on debts resulting from misrepresentation by the claimant.

— In the case of debts that do not arise from a claimant's misrepresentation, no interest will be charged.

— Interest will not be charged on debts that arise from a Commission error in benefit payment.

— Interest will start from the date on which the debtor is notified of the amount owing.

— Interest will be charged at the Bank of Canada average rate plus 3 percent, and it will be calculated daily and compounded monthly.

— Amounts repaid by the claimant will be applied first to amounts of outstanding interest and then to the amount of the oldest EI debt within the six-year recovery period prescribed by the EI Act.

— Interest will not be charged while the decision that gave rise to the debt is under appeal or other review. Therefore, interest will not accrue from the day on which an appeal or other review of the decision that gave rise to the amount owing is determined to be lodged, until the day that a decision on the appeal or other review is rendered by the competent authority.

— The Commission may also waive or reduce the amount of interest where:

— the administration costs of the collection of interest would exceed the amount of the interest owing;

— the interest is payable in respect of an outstanding debt that has already been settled in whole, or in part, in favour of the debtor; or

— the accrual of interest on a particular penalty or amount of indebtedness would result in undue hardship to the debtor.

— Interest charges will cease in the following situations:

— with the repayment of the debt;

— upon the death of the debtor;

— if the amount of the debt has been written off; or

— if the accrued interest is written off under section 56.

A change has also been made to paragraph 56(1)(a) of the Regulations, which deals with the write-off of debts. This change stipulates that, when the total of indebtedness under any Human Resources Development Canada (HRDC) administered program is not more than $20 (previously $5), no benefit period is currently running for the debtor, and the debtor is not making any regular payments under a repayment schedule, the sum can be written off by the Commission.

Alternatives

Employment Insurance is basically a social labour market program, one of whose principal aims is to assist the unemployed to rejoin the labour market by providing them with temporary financial assistance to help them in their search for work, provided the individual has met the qualifying conditions and otherwise proves a right to benefit.

The Regulations that deal with the charging of interest on EI debts will provide the Commission with sufficient latitude to establish and fairly administer a program for charging interest. For these reasons, this model was considered to be the best design for the provisions dealing with charging interest on EI debts.

Benefits and Costs

The EI Interest Program permits the Commission to conform to general government guidelines that apply to all departments on charging interest on outstanding debts. The basic form of these regulations is consistent with the Treasury Board directives on charging interest. It is expected that charging interest will be an incentive for debtors to repay outstanding debts at a faster rate. The cost of borrowing the money when the EI Account is in deficit, or the income lost to the EI Account when the Account is in surplus, is thus passed on to the claimants who actually owe amounts to the program.

Commencing in 2002-2003, it is estimated that HRDC will recover a total of $146 million in the first year of implementation. These numbers are based on the fact that interest will be charged on approximately 120 000 debt accounts generating additional recoveries from accrued interest on the existing portfolio and new establishments. This represents an increase of $16.9 million from the base year 2000-2001 as follows: $7.1 million in recoveries from accrued interest and an additional $9.8 million in increased recoveries from the principal due to the added incentive to repay faster.

EI administrative costs associated with these regulatory changes will be managed within HRDC's existing EI spending authority.

Implementation originally scheduled for 1998 was pushed back to July 1, 2002, because of Year 2000 considerations, and subsequently, by reason of other departmental legislative requirements (Bill C-23 — Modernization of EI Benefits, Bill C-32 — Budget Implementation Act, 2000, and Bill C-44, which did not receive Royal Assent and was re-introduced at the beginning of 2001 as Bill C-2 — An Act to amend the Employment Insurance Act and the Employment Insurance (Fishing) Regulations).

Consultation

There has as yet been no consultation outside of HRDC, except for Treasury Board, who fully supported our Regulations because these regulatory amendments are implementing a general government policy that interest must be charged on all outstanding debts to the Crown, a policy that applies to all government departments. On March 28, 1996, Treasury Board Secretariat put into place new Regulations (Interest and Administrative Charges Regulations) which required that government departments charge interest on all amounts that are outstanding. Before these Regulations were put into place, Treasury Board had consulted with all departments, and their input was incorporated in different sections of the Regulations. However, the prepublication of the draft Regulations in the Canada Gazette will allow full general consultation with all concerned sectors of the public.

These regulatory amendments were prepared by the Insurance Policy Branch in consultation with Legal Services, Insurance Program Services, Investigation and Control, Systems, Communications, the Human Resources Investment Branch, as well as Finance and Administration Services. There were also consultations with the other branches of HRDC with accounts receivable (student loans, Canada Pension Plan [CPP], etc.) so that consistency of treatment of such matters can exist within HRDC to the greatest extent practicable. All parties concur with the format reflected in the regulation.

In addition, Bill C-12 (Employment Insurance Act), which gives rise to these regulatory changes, was the subject of consultation with various government departments, members of Parliament, and interest groups, and was debated in the House of Commons and the Senate in 1996.

Compliance and Enforcement

Existing compliance mechanisms contained in HRDC's adjudication and control procedures will ensure that these changes are properly implemented and subsequently evaluated.

Existing policies and procedures in the Finance Branch will be used to assess the impact of waiver and write-off provisions upon the overall cost recovery. Existing policies will be used to assess when charging interest on debt accounts will constitute undue hardship for claimants.

Edmonton Garrison Heliport Zoning Regulations

Statutory Authority

Aeronautics Act

Sponsoring Department

Department of National Defence

REGULATORY IMPACT ANALYSIS STATEMENT

Description

The Edmonton Garrison Heliport Zoning Regulations will, in the interests of the safety of flight and air navigation, limit construction of buildings and other structures to heights which would not constitute a hazard in the vicinity of the heliport or to the visual and instrument approach paths around the heliport. They also provide for the regulation and removal, if necessary, of natural growth which exceeds the prescribed height limitations, and inhibit certain land uses which would tend to attract birds and increase the bird hazard. Establishment of these restrictions and limitations is provided for in the Aeronautics Act.

Alternatives

Municipal by-laws can provide the same type of restrictions and limitations. However, these by-laws are insufficiently stable as they are prone to change with the changes of elected officials in local government.

Benefits and Costs

The cost to the Department of National Defence (DND) of completing the zoning survey, drafting, printing and publishing the Regulations is in the $100,000 to $120,000 range, excluding administrative costs in DND and in the Privy Council Office. Application of the Regulations places controls and limitations on construction and on certain land uses in the vicinity of the heliport but does not give rise to any direct costs to the public or private sectors. The socio-economic impacts on the local area are minimal compared to the absence of such a regulation. Inappropriate construction and land use around the heliport could interfere with operations and cause a restriction in flying activity, or in an extreme case, closure of the heliport. The resultant loss of military and civilian salary revenue into the local area, loss of grants in lieu of taxes, and loss of jobs to local inhabitants would have serious economic impact.

Consultation

A copy of the proposed Regulations and charts was forwarded to the Canadian Forces Base Edmonton. Municipal authorities revised the proposed Regulations, and were invited to comment or question the contents. Public briefings by the project manager from National Defence Headquarters were made over a three-day period at the base and to the local construction associations at the Edmonton City Hall. Following prepublication of the proposed regulations in the Canada Gazette, Part I, and in a local newspaper, a period of not less than 60 days is set aside to permit representation to be made to the Minister of National Defence regarding any objection or proposed change.

Compliance and Enforcement

Compliance is obtained through the registration of the zoning Regulations in the Provincial Land Titles with the resultant regulation of construction and land use permits. Periodic inspections by DND personnel will permit the identification and correction of intrusions of natural growth into protected surfaces and the identification of improper utilization of lands in the bird hazard area. Reports from aircrew may also identify obstructions.

PROPOSED REGULATORY TEXT

Notice is hereby given that the Governor in Council, pursuant to subsection 5.4(2) (see footnote b)  of the Aeronautics Act, proposes to make the annexed Edmonton Garrison Heliport Zoning Regulations

Interested persons may make representations with respect to the proposed Regulations within 60 days after the date of publication of this notice. All such representations must cite the Canada Gazette, Part I, and the date of publication of this notice and be addressed to Mr. Gilles Champoux, DRCR-2, 9CBN, Department of National Defence, 101 Colonel By Drive, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0K2.

The representations should stipulate those parts of the representation that should not be disclosed pursuant to the Access to Information Act and, in particular, pursuant to sections 19 and 20 of that Act, the reason why those should not be disclosed and the period during which they should remain undisclosed. The representations should also stipulate the parts of the representations for which there is consent to disclosure pursuant to the Access to Information Act.
