UAE Canada frequency

Does anyone have any idea why there is a limit on why there are only six flights allowed per week tfom the UAE to Canada?
The Canadian Gov't must be nuts saying that there are enough flights to handle the load. The airplane is always packed and pax are regularly turned away. Recent flight back I was on had eight staff travelling stand by left behind as well as revenue pax.
Is it AC trying to protect their "market share" should they ever fly YYZ-DXB on their own 777's?
If so, would it not be a situation where the "tail is wagging the dog" regarding Canadian transport policy, or has this sort of thing been going on for some time?
