Good evening MCMA,
I wanted to follow up to clarify my earlier email regarding our request for ICON-related data, and I apologize for any confusion it may have caused.
We are seeking your assistance in compiling the total expenditures related to ICON since its implementation, across three key areas. This information will support our case to the Ministry, emphasizing that these costs should be covered given that ICON is a mandated system.
Specifically, we are requesting the total spend in the following categories:
- Total ICON Charges – Based on the per-transaction fee of $1.95.
- Monitoring Costs (not quality assurance) – This is the fixed monthly fee charged for the Province’s oversight role. Initially, this was calculated as 0.68% of our 1998 revenue. In 2015, the amount was revised to the current rate. Could you please confirm your current fixed monthly amount and provide the total monitoring costs incurred to date?
- Victim Fine Surcharge – Total amount paid under this category.
I appreciate this may be a timely task. You can find most of the information on the monthly MAG statements. Unfortunately, you must add it up per month/year/total years since download.
For the ICON charges, you can track the total number of charges per year X $1.95. You can find the total charges received through the POA Statistics on the Ontario courts website.
If there is another way to access the data, can you please share with the rest of the group.
If you need more time beyond June 27, 2025, please let us know.
Thank you again,
MCMA Board.
