Minister's Message
The Honourable Marie-Claude Bibeau,
Privy Councillor, Member of Parliament,
Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food
On behalf of the Canadian Grain Commission, I am pleased to present our report on fees for 2020–21.
The Canadian Grain Commission regulates grain handling and maintains science-based standards to help ensure Canada continues to meet the demand for safe and exceptional grain products around the world.
I want to recognize the Canadian Grain Commission’s continued work to modernize fees in accordance with the Service Fees Act. Effective August 1, 2021, the Canadian Grain Commission reduced fees collected for four official grain inspection and official weighing services based on an adjusted grain volume forecast for the next three-year time period. The adjustment is in response to the sustained growth in grain export volumes in recent years, and comes two years before the end of the current fee review cycle. The will better align fee revenues with fixed service delivery costs and, ultimately, this reduction will help to keep more money in the pockets of Canadian grain producers. The three-year timeframe allows for an earlier grain volume forecast and fee adjustment to any abrupt changes in terminal export grain volumes.
I also commend the Canadian Grain Commission’s efforts to meet the needs of Canadian farmers and the Canadian grain sector during the COVID-19 pandemic. Throughout this tumultuous year, the Canadian Grain Commission successfully responded to the growing demand while implementing measures to maintain a safe and healthy workplace and continuing to operate within budget. In 2020-21, the Canadian Grain Commission provided official inspection and weighing services on approximately 50.3 million metric tonnes of grain compared to an approximate 38.5 million metric tonnes in 2019-20. This represents a 30 percent increase in service demand. This critical work helped the sector deliver high quality grain products around the world and reach unprecedented export levels.
As Canada’s Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, I will continue to support the Canadian Grain Commission in reporting under the Service Fees Act to ensure the delivery of cost-effective services, clear service standards, and performance results. Together we will continue to diversify our trade markets and grow agri-food exports to $75 billion by 2025.
Chief Commissioner’s message
Doug Chorney
Chief Commissioner
Canadian Grain Commission
As Chief Commissioner, I continue to be humbled by the work done by Canadian Grain Commission staff across the country to benefit grain farmers, the grain sector, and all Canadians.
We are committed to clear and transparent reporting to Parliamentarians and Canadians in accordance with the Service Fees Act. The 2020-21 Fees Report outlines our service standard performance results and reflects the dedication of all Canadian Grain Commission employees to delivering concrete results for the grain sector.
The Canadian Grain Commission is funded largely through a revolving fund, which is based on charging service fees. Our fees are fixed by regulation and fees notice and are adjusted for inflation annually in accordance with the Service Fees Act. As part of its comprehensive fee setting process, the Canadian Grain Commission committed to review fees on a five-year cycle to ensure that fees remain aligned with the cost of service provision. Updated fees came into effect April 1, 2018.
In 2020-21, due to the continued increase in grain production and record grain export volumes, the Canadian Grain Commission undertook an early review of fees, targeted to those fees that were generating a surplus in our revolving fund. As a result, we were able to reduce four official inspection and weighing fees based on an adjusted grain volume forecast for the next three-year period.
The reduced fees came into effect on August 1, 2021, the start of the 2021-22 crop year, and will limit the possibility of additional surplus accumulation moving forward. The fee reductions will benefit stakeholders across the grain sector and represent a cost decrease of 19% for fiscal 2021-22, and an ongoing annualized rate decrease of 29% for each of the 2022-23 and 2023-24 fiscal years.
I take great pride in the results that Canadian Grain Commission staff were able to deliver despite the challenges presented throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Our team continued to work hard to keep pace with high export volumes to provide inspection, weighing, and research services on a timely basis and helped ensure Canada delivered top quality grain exports around the world.
About this report
This report, which is tabled under section 20 of the Service Fees Act, including the Low Materiality Fees Regulations and subsection 4.2.8 of the Directive on Charging and Special Financial Authorities, contains information about the fees that Canadian Grain Commission had the authority to set in 2020–21.
Government of Canada departments may set fees for services, licences, permits, products, the use of facilities, for other authorizations of rights or privileges, or to recover, in whole or in part, costs incurred in relation to a regulatory scheme.
For reporting purposes, fees must be categorized under the following three fee-setting mechanisms:
- Act, regulation or fees notice
- An act of Parliament delegates the fee-setting authority to a department, minister or Governor in Council.
- Contract
- Ministers have the authority to enter into contracts, which are usually negotiated between the minister and an individual or organization, and which cover fees and other terms and conditions. In some cases, that authority may also be provided by an act of Parliament.
- Market-rate or auction
- The authority to set these fees is pursuant to an act of Parliament or regulation, and the minister, department or Governor in Council has no control over the fee amount.
This report contains information about all fees that are under the Canadian Grain Commission’s authority. The information covers fees subject to the Service Fees Act and exempted from the Service Fees Act.
For fees set by contract, and fees set by market rate or auction, the report provides totals only. For fees set by act, regulation or fees notice, the report provides totals for fee groupings, as well as detailed information for each fee.
Although the fees that the Canadian Grain Commission charges under the Access to Information Act were subject to the Service Fees Act, they are not included in this report. Information on Canadian Grain Commission’s access to information fees for 2020–21 can be found in our access to information report, which is posted on our Web page: Transparency.
Remissions
This report does not include remissions issued under the authority of the Service Fees Act, since this requirement took effect on April 1, 2021. Remissions issued under the Service Fees Act will be reported for the first time, as applicable, in the 2021-22 Fees Report, which will be published in 2022–23.
The Service Fees Act requires departments to remit a fee, in part or in full, to a fee payer when a service standard is deemed not met. Under the Service Fees Act and the Directive on Charging and Special Financial Authorities, departments had to develop policies and procedures for determining:
- whether a service standard has been met
- how much of a fee will be remitted to a fee payer if a service standard is deemed not met
The Canadian Grain Commission’s Service Fee Remission Policy takes effect in 2021-22.
No remissions were issued in 2020-21 related to fees set by regulation by the Canadian Grain Commission. Additionally, no remissions were issued related to fees set by Commission Authority since the Canadian Grain Commission did not have or seek other authorities to remit.
Overall totals, by fee setting mechanism
The following table presents the total revenue, cost and remissions for all fees that the Canadian Grain Commission had the authority to set in 2020–21, by fee-setting mechanism.
| Fee setting mechanism | Revenue1 ($) | Cost ($) | Remissions ($) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fees set by contract | 747,267.15 | 747,267.15 | Remissions do not apply to fees set by contract. |

- The Canadian Grain Commission received approximately $6.8 million in 2020-21 in appropriation that is not included in the revenue.
- The Canadian Grain Commission operates primarily as a revolving fund, which has a continuing, non-lapsing authority from Parliament. This is a funding mechanism where revenues remain available in order to finance continuing operations without fiscal year limitations.

Details on each fee set by act, regulation or fees notice
This section provides detailed information on each fee that the Canadian Grain Commission had the authority to set in 2020–21 and that was set by any of the following:
- act
- regulation
- fees notice
The Canadian Grain Commission operates as a revolving fund (a statutory, non-lapsing authority), which allows for services provided in one fiscal year to have funds collected in a different fiscal year. The effects of this timing difference on reporting are:
- a fee may have revenue in a fiscal year when the service standard indicates the service was not requested.
- revenue and fee amounts may not align with units billed.
