You pay an automobile tab fee to a private highway services

I pay a fee to the Ontario government renew my car's license plates.
It's less than the Nav Canada fee for my plane, neither is very high
(i.e. both are far under USD 50.00/year).



Down here in Dixie, I pay a rather large fee to the Georgia State government
to renew my car's tags as well. Technically, it's USD 20/year for a tag
fee, but they also collect an ad valorum tax at the same time that is fairly
pricey. What I was trying to dig at with Newps with is that the tag fee is
paid to the State government, just like you pay your Provincial government
up there to renew. You are not paying plate renewal fees to a private
middleman contractor in order to drive on road net built and maintained by
the state.

Just curious again with Nav Canada. When you pay your ATC fees up there, do
you pay Nav Canada directly, or do you pay your government who then pays Nav
Canada?
