The same day change seems to vary from pass to pass, but the $50 seems to be same across many different passes. Changes and Cancellations
  • Flight credit booking changes are subject to availability; a $50 CAD fee per direction, plus taxes, applies to booking changes and cancellations.
  • Same-day changes done either at the airport with an agent or at a self-service kiosk are subject to availability. A $100 CAD fee per direction, plus taxes, applies.
That's been the case for Flex passes since at least 2013. Latitude/Business passes do not have any change/cancellation fees.

That's a temporary COVID policy.
