Incorrect.  See the CIRA "Fees Policy."

If you check the ICANN agreements, you'll find that the typical 1 year
registration fees for gTLDs is between $5.75 and $6.00 USD.  For .COM,
the registration fee is $6 USD/yr.

CIRA used to charge registration fees of $25/yr, and registrars would
have to charge something in addition to cover any costs they incur. 
The price has fallen to $8.50 CDN, which makes $10 a pretty decent
price.  That's not much more than $6 USD...

Anyone that charges less than $8.50 MUST be looking for money somewhere else...
