Issue 16 - Twelfth Report of the Committee

Tuesday November 23, 2010

The Standing Senate Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs has the honour to present its

TWELFTH REPORT

Your committee, to which was referred the document ``National Parole Board User Fees Proposal'' dated September 27, 2010, has, in obedience to its order of reference of Monday, September 27, 2010, examined the proposed user fee.

Your committee recommends that, in accordance with section 5 of the User Fees Act, the Senate approve the proposed increase to the National Parole Board's component of the pardon user fee from $35 to $135, which creates a total fee of $150 (including the RCMP's component).

Your committee has also made certain observations which are appended to this report.

Respectfully submitted,

JOHN D. WALLACE

Deputy Chair
