$50m is $50 Million. If a budget item is deemed wasteful it should be looked at independently for its value, not as what % of a budget it incurs. So perhaps you're saying $50M is chump change compared to the cost Canada could incur by changing? That would be a fair point if legit in my eyes.

$50M in an economy like Canada is nothing. It pales in comparison to the cost of running Parliament.
Republic or constitutional monarchy - we get a head of state either way. At least ours is based on a set of norms that are fundamentally sound and blessedly apolitical.
