Office of the Auditor General of Canada—2017–18 Fees Report
Office of the Auditor General of Canada 2017–18 Fees Report
Preface
On behalf of the Office of the Auditor General of Canada, I am presenting the report on fees for the 2017–18 fiscal year.
On 22 June 2017, the Service Fees Act received royal assent, thereby repealing the User Fees Act. The Service Fees Act provides for annual detailed reporting to Parliament.
This 2017–18 Fees Report is the first report to be prepared under the Service Fees Act. Additional fee information will be included starting next fiscal year, once the Office fully transitions to the Service Fees Act.
