Calculating the Fee Like the fee for an application for a new certificate of registration, the proposed fee to modify a term, condition or limitation previously imposed by the Committee is expressed as a percentage of the annual fee payable by a member of the College. Council is proposing for these types of applications that members be charged a fee in the amount of 25% of the annual fee specified in section 4(a) of the Fees and Remuneration By-Law. This would be half the fee that is payable for an application for a new certificate of registration. Based on current figures, the fee at this time would amount to $392.50.

(f ) For a certificate of authorizatio
