Here's what a google search says.  
 
A CRA garnishment usually occurs when you owe a tax debt and do not have a payment plan with the CRA or if you are behind filing and the CRA has good reason to believe that you will owe them money and have even assessed it through a notional assessment.  
Unlike other creditors, the CRA can impose a garnishment on your wages without even having to get a court order.  
A CRA garnishment can be applied at up to 50% of your earnings if you are employed and have taxes deducted at the source. Other income, like subcontractor income, can be garnisheed by the CRA up to 100%.  
Another type of CRA garnishment that is imposed on self-employed individuals is when the CRA sends notice to a business’s clients to re-direct all payments for invoices to the CRA. The CRA can garnishee up to 100% of your invoices.

Gf she is being garnished 30%. To what we looked into and spoken to a lawyer about 30% is maximum. And that's 30% before taxes.

That is what I was wondering if Revenue Canada can garnish more than the 30%.
