This interpretation bulletin outlines the fees that an institution may charge a requester, as set out in section 57 of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA) and section 45 of the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA). This document also explains what an institution must consider when calculating its fees, how those fees are communicated to the requester, and the factors to consider when deciding whether to grant a fee waiver where it is “fair and equitable” to do so.
