Just noticed that the amount of Aeroplan points I would receive cancelling a paid flight dropped around 10k from 72k to 62k. Doing some investigating it looks like the price of points has incresed from $0.03 to $0.035. Was this announced?

Yes, now up to 3.5 cents per point. Confirmed by logging in and going to the purchase points page within Aeroplan. $350 for 10,000 points etc.

The option to receive a travel voucher for the full value of your booking remains in place.
I highly doubt you'd be successful in arguing that you should be entitled to convert at the old 3 cent price just because that's what was in effect at that time you bought the ticket.
