I learned this week the participants on the CFRB panels are not paid.  What's the point on going on?  This was during a discussion on internship.  According to Professional Standards Advisory PS-17 (February 2011):

The question for employers is, “Does the position being offered meet the legal standard set by federal law for an unpaid internship?” For the student, the question is, “Can the internship be a significant career builder as opposed to just a mindless activity (http://d1i6vahw24eb07.cloudfront.net/p118596q.png) that provides little or no immediate academic or work experience?” For both parties, there are ethical questions to consider.
