Regulations Amending the Special Services and Fees Regulations

Statutory authority

Canada Post Corporation Act

Sponsoring agency

Canada Post Corporation

REGULATORY IMPACT ANALYSIS STATEMENT

(This statement is not part of the Regulations.)

Description

These proposed amendments to Canada Post Corporation (Canada Post) Regulations, effective January 14, 2008, will increase the rate charged for registered mail delivered in Canada, an option that provides senders of letter mail with proof of mailing and the ability to confirm delivery for items delivered in Canada.

The specific proposed change is as follows:

• A $0.30 increase (4.3%) to $7.25 for registered mail delivered in Canada.

Alternatives

Canada Post is facing inflationary cost pressures from a number of sources, and the proposed price adjustment takes into consideration increased operating costs.

Benefits and costs

It is anticipated that the amendment will not have a serious impact on postal users or market share. The new rate will directly contribute to Canada Post's financial integrity and, consequently, its ability to make future investments to maintain an accessible, affordable and efficient service.

Consultation

As required by the Canada Post Corporation Act, these amendments are being published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, thereby initiating a formal 60-day period in which interested persons can make representations to the Minister of Transport, House of Commons, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A6.

All such representations should cite the Canada Gazette, Part I, and the date of publication of this notice.

Compliance and enforcement

These Regulations are enforced by Canada Post under the Canada Post Corporation Act. No increase in the cost of enforcement is expected as a result of the proposed changes.
