QuoteThe routine cost of the Canadian Crown in 2011-2012
was $56,878,538 or $1.63 per Canadian.
■ The additional one-time expense ($7,499,549) associated with the
historic Diamond Jubilee Celebrations in Canada, together with
the routine cost of the Crown, created a total annual cost of
$64,378,087 or $1.85 per Canadian.
■ The overall annual cost of the Governor General's service as
representative of the Queen amounted to $45,827,000, or $1.31
per person to a Canadian population of 34,880,491 (July, 2012).
■ The Offices of the 10 Lieutenant Governors served The Queen
and their provinces at an overall annual cost of $9,692,363, or
28 cents per person.
■ The Queen's 11 Canadian vice- regal representatives collectively
undertook approximately 3,873 engagements in 2011-2012.
■ By way of comparison, the annual cost of this fundamental principle
of Canadian governance compares favourably to the budgets of the
Senate of Canada ($89,979,680), the National Gallery of Canada
($51,102,320) and the Library of Parliament ($41,307,604)
