On June 22, 2017, the Service Fees Acti received royal assent, thereby repealing the User Fees Actii. 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 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 DFO and the Coast Guard fully transition to the Service Fees Act regime. I welcome the increased transparency and oversight that the Service Fees Act’s reporting regime embodies, and I am fully committed to transitioning my department to this modern framework. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson, P.C., M.P.

Under the Service Fees Act departments are required to develop policies that determine when fees will be remitted to fee payers should service standards not be met. The requirement for departments to remit is anticipated to come into effect on March 31, 2020. This effective date allows departments time to develop remissions policies and adjust service standard tracking and remittance systems. During fiscal year 2017 to 2018, some departments may have issued remissions, in accordance with their authority of their enabling legislation or regulation, as opposed to the authority given by the Service Fees Act. It is remissions issued under enabling legislations or regulations that are shown above. 3 The reported amount for fees collected differs slightly when compared with the Department’s annual report on the Access to Information Act 2017-18 due to the timing of the two separate reports and year-end adjustments. 4 In the supplementary information tables that accompanied the 2016-17 Departmental Results Report, this amount was broken down into Commercial Licensing Fee revenue and Recreational Licensing Fee revenue ($32,013,001 and $6,013,031, respectively). 5 This figure is taken from the best proxy measure currently available: 2017-18 actual spending for the Integrated Fisheries Management program. Please note that this figure understates the total cost as it does not include costs such as the contribution of DFO’s science programs or Compliance and Enforcement program.

  • Cruise Tourism and Sea Ice in Canada's Hudson Bay Region
    ARCTIC VOL. 63, NO. 1 (MARCH 2010) P. 57–66 Cruise Tourism and Sea Ice in Canada’s Hudson Bay Region E.J. SteWArt,1 A. TIVY,2 S.E.L. HOWell,3 J. DAWSON4 and D. DRAPer5 (Received 26 March 2009; accepted in revised form 15 July 2009) ABSTRACT. Tourism in the Hudson Bay region of central northern Canada generally is associated with non-consumptive forms of nature-based activities (such as polar bear viewing). However, the region has experienced variable growth in the cruise sector in recent years. This paper examines patterns of cruise activity in all subregions of the Hudson Bay region during three cruise seasons (2006, 2008, and 2009) and mainly reveals a pattern of decline. Since the prevalence of sea ice is an important part of visitor experiences of polar cruises, we examine sea ice change and occurrence of icebergs in the Hudson Bay region. Our sea ice analysis suggests that the length of the navigable shipping season is increasing in this region, which may facilitate both earlier and later shipping. But in terms of cruise traffic, we suggest that the demise of ice coverage signals a possible decline in cruise activity in most of the Hudson Bay region because ice-supported wildlife may shift north with the diminishing ice regime. Given the possible environmental and socio-cultural implications of changing cruise activity patterns in the Arctic and the absence of broad-scale monitoring and surveillance of the industry, use of these available data sources is vital to building a clearer picture. Key words: Canadian Arctic, Hudson Bay region, sea ice, tourism, polar tourism, cruise tourism RÉSUMÉ.

  • The Biological Importance of Polynyas in the Canadian Arctic
    ARCTIC VOL. 33, NO. 2 (JUNE 1980). P. 303-315 The Biological Importance of Polynyas in the.?, Canadian Arctic IAN STIRLING’ ABSTRACT. Polynyas are areas of open water surrounded by ice. In the Canaeh Arctic, the largest and best known polynya is the North Water. There are also several similar, but smaller, recurring polynyas and shore lead systems. Polynyas appear tobe of critical importance to arcticmarine birds and mammalsfor feeding, reproduction’itnd migration. Despite their obvious biological importance, mostpolynya areas.are threatened by extensive disturbance and possible pollution as a result of propesed offshore petrochemical exploration and year-round shippingwith ice-brewg capability. However, we cannot evaluate what the effects of such disruptions mi&t be becauseto date we have conducted insufficient researchto enable us to haye: a quantitative understanding of the critical ecological processes and balances that magl,k unique to polynya areas. It is essential thatwe rectify the situation because the survival of viable populations or subpopulations of several species of arctic marine birds qnd mammals may depend on polynyas. RftSUMfi. Les polynias sont des zones d‘eau libre dans la banquise. Dans le Canada arctique, le polynia le plus vaste et le mieux connu, est celui de “North Water”. Quelques polynias analogues mais de taille rtduite existent; ils sont periodiques et peuvent 6tre en relation avecle rivage. Les polynias semblent primordiaux aux oiseaux marins arctiques et aux mammiferes, pour leur nourriture, leur reproduction et leur migration.

    Marine Navigation Alert Jeppesen MARINE NAVIGATION ALERTS contain significant information affecting Jeppesen Charts and/or Technology. They are regularly updated at www.jeppesen.com/marinealerts/ Date: October 10 , 2012 Subject: Removal of Canadian charts from C-MAP by Jeppesen products (see Table 1 for a detailed list of charts removed) Affected Products: C-MAP NT, C-MAP NT+, C-MAP (iOS) , C-MAP MAX, C-MAP MAX Pro, C-MAP 4D , C-MAP 4D EMBEDDED, C-MAP MAX EMBEDDED, C-MAP WORLDFOLIO (Passport Charts), C-MAP by Jeppesen MM3D (see Table 2 at the end of this document for a detailed list of affected products) Jeppesen would like to inform its customers operating in Canadian waters that per contractual requirements with the Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS), Jeppesen has removed select charts from its products which were derived from official CHS paper charts. The Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS) considers these charts inadequate for conversion to digital format, and for use in digital navigation systems (including GPS Chart Plotters). To minimize the impact of this change, areas where charts were removed have been covered with smaller scale charts, whenever possible. As a consequence of removing these charts, Jeppesen has discontinued a number of cartridge codes (see the list of affected cartridges below). Jeppesen customers in possession of the following cartridges won’t be able to update their products until further notice : C-MAP NT+: M-NA-C126.31, M-NA-C152.31, M-NA-C176.31, M-NA-C178.31, M-NA-C179.31, M-NA-C209.31, M-NA-C210.31, M-NA-C217.31, M-NA-C218.31, M-NA-C219.31, M-NA-C221.31, M-NA-C222.31, M-NA-C250.31 C-MAP MAX: M-NA-M048.21, M-NA-M176.21, M-NA-M178.21, M-NA-M179.21, M-NA-M209.21, M-NA-M210.21, M-NA-M217.21, M-NA-M218.21, M-NA-M219.21, M-NA-M250.21, M-NA- M330.21 C-MAP 4D: M-NA-D048.08, M-NA-D176.08, M-NA-D178.08, M-NA-D179.08, M-NA-D209.08, M- NA-D210.08, M-NA-D217.08, M-NA-D218.08, M-NA-D219.08, M-NA-D250.08, M-NA-D330.08 iOS: M-NA-I048.08 Jeppesen will continue to work with CHS to provide high quality chart coverage as soon as possible.

  • South Baffin Island Explorer
    South Baffin Island Explorer 11 days/10 nights ITINERARY Day 1: Ottawa - Iqaluit We depart Ottawa this morning on our scheduled flight to Iqaluit, capital of Nunavut, situated on the south-eastern coast of Baffin Island. Upon arrival we enjoy a walking tour of this historic settlement before boarding our expedition ship, RCGS Resolute, in the afternoon. After settling into our cabins and exploring the ship, we meet our expedition team and fellow passengers. Excitement is in the air as we enjoy a welcome cocktail and cast off to explore one of the most remote regions on Earth. Day 2: Monumental Island, Frobisher Bay Located in the Davis Strait, the rocky dome of Monumental Island can be clearly seen as we approach. We travel by zodiac to explore the rocky shoreline and hope to encounter polar bears in this vicinity. In good weather a complete circumnavigation of the island is possible, and we should see our first large icebergs as they drift south towards Labrador and Newfoundland on the currents of the Davis Strait. Walruses have also been encountered in this area, so we keep a close look out on the shoreline for this iconic species. Over the next few days, and throughout the voyage, our onboard experts educate and entertain us with a series of presentations about Inuit culture and traditions, as well as the environment, wildlife and history of Baffin Island. Day 3: Kimmirut The tiny community of Kimmirut is home to just 400 people and was once a Hudson’s Bay Company Trading post. A particular focus of our visit is the local art scene and after cruising into a narrow channel we travel ashore by zodiac, where we enjoy a warm welcome from the locals.
