Someone can correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe Passport Canada is entirely funded by passports. So it’s not just “admin” it’s literally everything they do that is funded through passports.
The Harper government increased the cost 10 or so years ago because they were actually losing money on each passport.
The seems like the most fair form of taxation, no? You want a passport, you pay for a passport, and nobody who doesn’t need nor want a passport has to subsidize anyone else’s ability to get one.
