Well they're not doing 40M passports, right? They're making one, and then we pay for our own after that at a rate of $120 or $160 depending on the option you select (assuming that this new design doesn't also come with an increased price).
If they were making and distributing a passport to every Canadian for that $284 million, this would be a bargain, but as far as I know they're just creating a design, with a chip in it.
