The Space Shuttle Endeavour, the orbiter built to replace the Space Shuttle Challenger, cost approximately $1.7 billion.
Canada does not have a space shuttle, making the question moot.

There were 5. Space Shuttle Columbia (destroyed in 2003), Space Shuttle Challenger (destroyed in 1886), Space Shuttle Discovery, Space Shuttle Atlantis, and Space Shuttle Endeavour.
The average cost of a space shuttle mission is $450 million

Obviously we don't. The idea behind the Shuttle was to be a cost effective, reusable transport.
It cost an average of around 450 Million Dollars to launch a Space Shuttle. Also, the Space Shuttle itself can cost 1.7 Billion Dollars.
It takes five years for a space shuttle to be built for a mission. It can cost an estimated amount of $2 billion.

That really depends on the nature of the space plane and the technology used. The shuttle (a space plane) reduced the cost of space flight dramatically and made the payloads larger. But it was mainly due to the reusability and size of the shuttle.
1.7 billion dollars.
