• Section 93 of the FOIP Act, and sections 9 to 13 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 school board may, by the legal instrument by which it acts, set any fees it requires to be paid under section 93 as long as the fees do not exceed the fees provided for in the FOIP Regulation.
