Notice from the Director

January 04, 2010

Corporations Canada is seeking comments on the fees proposed under the Canada Not-for-Profit Act (Bill C-4) and the associated service standards.

Bill C-4 received Royal Assent on June 23, 2009. Before the Act can come into force, the fees and related service standards must first be established in accordance with the User Fees Act process, which is as follows:

  1. Public consultation on the proposed fees and related service standards;
  2. Publication in the Canada Gazette of a notice setting out the proposed fees and related service standards which provides a timeframe for clients to submit complaints. This notice is published after the public consultation period;
  3. Creation of an independent complaint review panel, if complaints received cannot be resolved;
  4. Tabling of the proposal in each of the House of Commons and Senate for 20 sitting days for review.

Once the User Fees Act process is complete, the proposed regulations which include the fees, will then need to be pre-published in the Canada Gazette, Part I before final approval can be obtained from Treasury Board.

You can obtain the consultation paper on the proposed fees and related service standards:

Comments on the proposed fees or service standards may be submitted to Corporations Canada by February 5, 2010. For further information, call 1-866-333-5556 or send an e-mail to corporationscanada@ic.gc.ca.
