• Section 93 of the FOIP Act, and sections 10 to 14 and schedule 2 of the FOIP Regulation set out when fees may be charged for processing FOIP requests. • Section 95(b) of the FOIP Act says that a Metis settlement may, by bylaw, set any fees it requires to be paid under section 93 as long as they don’t exceed the fees provided for in the regulation.
