Transport Canada (TC) is seeking feedback on the potential introduction of new fees for its Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) Means of Containment Facilities Registration Program.
TC is undertaking an ambitious transformation agenda to modernize its programs and services to support industry innovation and better serve Canadians. Some services have been provided to individuals and industry free of charge, while others have not updated their fees in over 20 years and do not reflect what it costs the department to deliver those services.
Over the next few years, TC is moving forward with a plan to introduce new fees, modernize existing fees and streamline fees for some services across TC. TC believes that fee modernization will enable them to continue to provide the quality of services expected by industry and Canadians.
As part of these efforts, TC is proposing to introduce new fees and service standards for TDG’s Means of Containment Facilities Registration Program. This program ensures that all Means of Containment used in transporting dangerous goods are designed, manufactured, certified, repaired and maintained according to safety standards referenced in the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations.
Stakeholders are invited to provide feedback on this initiative to introduce new fees and service standards for TDG’s Means of Containment Facilities Registration Program. TC wants to ensure that fees are implemented in the most efficient and effective way possible, and would like to hear from you about the impacts that fees may have on you and your business.
