8 – The Cost of Canada’s Constitutional Monarchy – Autumn-Winter 2019 SUMMARY OF REPORT 7: OF THE CANADIAN TERRITORIES It is important to note that while the Commissioners of the Territories perform similar duties to those of a Lieutenant Governor, they are in fact representatives of the Canadian Government, not of Her Majesty. As they do not fall under the category of being Vice-Regal office holders, and they do not oversee sovereign governments, they are not considered a part of the overall cost of the Crown in Canada for the purposes of this report. This is not to deprecate in any way their splendid work and loyalty. SUMMARY This survey provides a broad picture of the costs The object of this Report remains to provide in one associated with the Canadian Crown. However, many document a broadly-accurate accounting of the costs differences among provinces such as population, associated with the Canadian Crown, the underlying geographic size and the existence of a Government principle of constitutional government in this nation. It House mean that some vice-regal offices incur combines the best available figures to find the total cost significantly greater expenses than others. Nor is of maintaining the Crown in Canada. The conclusions of there any uniformity in the 11 Vice-Regal establishments this Report’s six triennial predecessors have never been as to how expenditures are allocated, and to which challenged; we feel that this seventh edition again departments of provincial governments they are charged. furnishes information in a fair way. The Private Secretaries of the Governor General and Lieutenant Governors were provided with a draft of this Survey, and asked to provide comment and corrections to information in relation to their respective offices. As always, the League is grateful to the important contribution of Rideau Hall in ensuring that the Survey conveys accurate information about its many-faceted operations, and to the Offices of many Lieutenant Governors across the country for their helpful responses. Figures used throughout this Survey are from 2017-2018, the most recent complete fiscal year available.
