These offices received assistance from the provincial governments at a total annual cost of $0.23 per person. Thus the total annual cost of the Lieutenant Governors’ service to The Queen is $0.29 per person, compared to $0.25 per person in the 2005 survey. • This fourth edition of The Cost of Canada’s Constitutional Monarchy calculates that the total cost of the Canadian Crown in 2006-2007 was $50,146,896 or $1.53 per Canadian.
