Private copying levy in Canada.

Hi guys.
How does private copying levy work in Canada? I checked the details of the same and found that the government charges $0.21 per CD-R/CD-RW(non-audio). More information can be seen at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_copying_levy#Canada
I checked the price of Verbatim 52X CD-R on http://www.newegg.ca. Interestingly I found that they were selling it around $22. So, if you multiply $0.21 x 100 for a spindle pack, the levy itself comes to about $21.
I was wondering how this levy works...
