BACKGROUNDER
Fees Eliminated and Reduced

The 2006 Budget announced that the Provincial Government would be conducting a thorough review of all fees. As result of that review, 60 fees will be eliminated, 100 fees will be reduced and admission fees for 12 historic sites will not be imposed one day each week. These fee measures will put $3.4 million back into the hands of individuals and businesses. Fee changes, where possible, will come into effect on May 1, 2007.

These fee changes noted below are in addition to the ferry rate reductions announced in March 2007 which will result in savings of $1.5 million for users. This will result in total fee savings of almost $5 million annually.
