This article is a quick read. I don't know of any all encompassing document that would break down the plethora of fees.
From a passenger perspective, you'd paying about double the fees you're paying on a similar length domestic flight in the US, and Air Canada/WestJet are at zero fault for that - so it comes partially out of your pocket and partially out of their profit. We also have far more expensive fuel here which is the biggest expense next to labour, and a highly incompetent air traffic control service that is horrendously understaffed and nails Air Canada and WestJet with delays, that they then have to compensate passengers for.
