Lea you live in Ontario and here it is law that all dogs be registered with their township. So I don't know where in Ontario you live but for me Yukon is registered and licensed through City of Clarence/Rockland. If you live in Ottawa then it would be city of Ottawa. It is so if the dog catcher ever gets your dog for any reason they can track down the owner right away.
Lea,
If you live in city limits, you pay city and county taxes on your dogs.
If you live outside city limits you only pay county taxes on your dogs.
Then they give you your tag which must be on the dogs collar.
To answer your question, It is so you pay a tax on every dog you have.
The gov. can make some money on each dog you own.
They can also trace your number if dog gets lost or causes damage.
If you don't pay the taxes and get the tag, if your dog would get picked up, then you can be fined.

Not quite that simple Yuckaduck. Every municipality is different. Here in Guelph, a spayed/neutered, microchipped dog (after March 1st) is $40.00 I believe...unless it's a new dog, in which case you pay the pre-march 1st fee of $20.00. Oshawa will likely have it's very own little shopping list to identify what the license will cost.
Edit:
From the city of Guelph's web-site:
Description Before March 1 2005* After March 1 2005
Spayed or neutered and microchipped $10.00 $30.00
Spayed or neutered and not microchipped $20.00 $40.00
Unspayed or unneutered and microchipped $20.00 $40.00
Unspayed or unneutered $30.00 $60.00
Replacement tags $5.00 $25.00
Kennel license (microchipped dogs) $50.00 $70.00
Kennel license (not microchipped) $100.00 $120.00
Guide dogs no charge $20.00
Sorry, but I'm too lazy to line up all the numbers.

Wow that is cheap if the dog catcher catches your dog and it has no tag it is that cheap to get it back. Here in Clarence Rockland if your dog has no tag it is a $90 fine for a dog with no tag and then they make you buy a tag and if the dog was picked up you pay boarding fees as well.
Here to buy a tag before Mar31 it is $15 per dog and after Mar 31 it is $25 per dog whether spayed/neutered age don't matter that is the price. Every year never changes no discounts for extra dogs. Cats don't need to be registered here at all. THey don't ask about shots or anything but they do hold annual rabies clinics to encourage that vaccine.
