The Board is not allowed to respend these revenues in the fiscal year that they are collected; they can only access these revenues the following fiscal year through the Supplementary Estimates process. The Board has the authority to recover costs related to pardons. There is a $50 user fee for the processing of pardon applications which generated revenues of $1,336 in 2008-09. Of the $50, the Board can only access $35 (or 70%) of every fee. This translates to $935K for the Board for 2008-09. These revenues will be accessed through the 2009-10 Supplementary Estimates process.
