Note 1: The CRTC retains respendable revenue to fund its operating budget (i.e. vote-netted revenue).
Note 2: Non-respendable revenue for Part I broadcasting licence fees and CRTC telecommunications fees recover the costs incurred by other federal government departments for services (excluding Industry Canada spectrum management) rendered without charge to the CRTC as well as the statutory costs of employee benefit plans. Part II broadcasting fees are also considered to be non-respendable revenue.
Note 3: The CRTC collected $674,000 in outstanding Part II licence fees pertaining to the 2005 and 2006 return years. The Commission did not assess or collect any revenues for Part II licence fees for 2007–2008 as a result of the Federal Court decision in effect at that time.
Note 4: Other revenue is comprised of adjustment to prior years’ revenues and payables, deferred revenues and miscellaneous revenue such as interest on outstanding fees.
Note 5: All revenues are credited to the Consolidated Revenue Fund.

Performance Standards |
Requests are completed as per the standards indicated in the Access to Information Act. Section 7 of the Act states that access to a record requested under this Act shall, subject to sections 8, 9 and 11, be made available within 30 days after the request is received. |
|||||||
Performance Results |
During 2007–2008, 15 requests out of 17 were completed: 11 were completed within 30 days, two within 31 and 60 days and two within 61 and 120 days. Two requests are still pending at the end of 2007–2008. |
Note 1: The Access to Information revenue and cost for 2007–2008 are negligible: $50.00 received and approximately $11,000 in cost. The CRTC forecasts that the revenue associated with these fees and the full cost in future years will be negligible.
CRTC assesses fees pursuant to the Broadcasting Licence Fee Regulations 1997 and the Telecommunications Fee Regulations 1995. These regulations can be located on the CRTC website at www.crtc.gc.ca. The CRTC has received a legal opinion indicating that the Part I broadcasting licence fees and telecommunications fees are considered to be external ‘regulatory fees’ and not ‘user fees’ as defined in the User Fees Act (UFA). Thus these fees, and the external reporting of any information related to these fees, are not subject to the provisions of the UFA, but rather the Treasury Board Policy on Service Standards for External Fees. Information on broadcasting and telecommunications fees is included below.

Note 1: The rationale for assessing Part II fee is three-fold:
Note 2: The CRTC collected $674,000 in outstanding Part II licence fees pertaining to the 2005 and 2006 return years. No revenues for Part II licence fees are forecasted for these years as a result of the litigation which pertains to a challenge of the CRTC’s Part II broadcasting licence fees. The amounts reflected in the estimated full cost column pertain to Industry Canada costs associated with broadcasting spectrum management.
