Other Information:
It is the Secretariat's practice to waive fees where the total owing per request amounts to less than $25.00, or when the request has not been answered within the legislated time frames and additional costs would apply, or where there is a public interest in the disclosure. The number of times fees were waived in 2009–10 was due to the informal processing of requests. In order to reduce costs and increase efficiency, documents are also released occasionally on CD-ROM, which means that no reproduction fees are charged to the applicant.
