Trail permit prices include the cost of the mandatory liability insurance under the terms of Article 19 of the Act respecting off-highway vehicles, as well as all applicable taxes.
As you must know, most of the revenue from your permit goes directly to your club. So if you buy where you ride, your money improves the trails you ride most often.
