Ministers' message
On behalf of Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada, we are pleased to present the 2017 to 2018 Report on Fees.
On June 22, 2017, the Service Fees Act received royal assent, thereby repealing the User Fees Act.
The Service Fees Act introduces a modern legislative framework that enables cost-effective delivery of services and, through enhanced reporting to Parliament, improved transparency and oversight. The act provides for:
- a streamlined approach to consultation and the approval of new or modified fees;
- a requirement for services to have service standards and reporting against these standards, along with a policy to remit fees to fee payers when standards are not met;
- an automatic annual fee adjustment by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) to ensure that fees keep pace with inflation; and
- annual detailed reporting to Parliament in order to increase transparency.
This 2017 to 2018 Fees Report is the first report to be prepared under the Service Fees Act. The report includes new information such as a detailed listing of all fees along with future year fee amounts. Additional fee information will be included starting next fiscal year, once Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada fully transitions to the Service Fees Act regime.
We welcome the increased transparency and oversight that the Service Fees Act's reporting regime embodies, and we are fully committed to transitioning the department to this modern framework.

Nunavut Mining Regulations
| Fee-setting authority | Territorial Lands ActEndnote 2 |
| Year introduced | Effective since at least 1978; the exact date fees were introduced prior to 1978 is unknown |
| Year last amended | The Canada Mining Regulations were changed to the Northwest Territories and Nunavut Mining RegulationsEndnote 3 in 2007, with amendments to the royalty sections. On April 1, 2014, the Regulations was split into two sets of regulations: the Nunavut Mining RegulationsEndnote 4 apply to Crown lands in Nunavut, while the Northwest Territories Mining RegulationsEndnote 5 apply to residual Crown lands still under the department Minister's authority after devolution. The department is working with the Department of Justice to amend the Nunavut Mining Regulations to enable online selection of mineral claims on map. The map selection system would replace the current process of physically staking (locating) mineral claims on the ground in Nunavut. The proposed system, a modern, fast and secure way to acquire a mineral claim, would streamline the administrative process so clients could obtain immediate approval and ownership for mineral claims and tenure rights. This would cut approval wait times for most mineral rights processes. Mining representatives were consulted in various ways and showed strong support for the project. Later in 2018, stakeholders will be invited to give feedback when the proposed amendments are published in Part I of the Canada Gazette. |
