lucky – you are forgetting that design businesses are just that – businesses. They need to make a profit to survive, and by making a profit they are ensuring that they pay taxes. Funny thing that, isn't it?
Quite frankly, a million dollars is a drop in the bucket for a large city.
$687k equates to about 0.02% of the annual budget of around $4 billion for Montreal, which is raised it's rates by the less than inflation in recent years, and so it's citizens are slightly better off.
Do some research and you'll realise how little this money really is. If you consider the hundreds of items that had to be considered while the Mark was being designed it all adds up time, and as all business owners know time is money.
That being said I'm sure I could find some few jobs that you might want to work pro bono on... :)
