Let's Talk Navigation: Introducing fees for the Navigation Protection Program
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LinkedinEmail this link
Transport Canada would like to start charging fees for services from the Navigation Protection Program. We want your feedback about the changes we plan to make.
We’d like to charge fees for:
Reviewing applications to approve works. Works can range from a swimming raft for a cottage to a large-scale dam project. The Program issues between 800 and 1,100 approvals for works each year.
Reviewing applications, and guiding the process for approval by the Governor in Council, when someone applies for an exemption from activities that aren’t normally allowed, like draining waterways, or throwing and dumping some materials in navigable waters. Four exemptions have been approved in the past 15 years.
We’d like to change things so that the people who benefit the most from the services pay a share of the costs.
