Default Extending R-value for cathedral ceiling

I have to add fiber glass insulation on my cathedral roof, for a small
cottage 16' x 24', new construction, in Canada.
The roof rafters are 2" x 8". For that size, I should use R20
(6") in order to keep 2" for ventilation on the top of insulation.


Why not put up a good plastic film vapor barrier under 8" of insulation?
