dbo:abstract
  • Crown corporations in Canada are government organizations with a mixture of commercial and public-policy objectives. They are directly and wholly owned by the Crown (i.e. the government of Canada or a province). Crown corporations represent a specific form of state-owned enterprise. Each corporation is ultimately accountable to (federal or provincial) Parliament through a relevant minister for the conduct of its affairs. They are established by an Act of Parliament and report to that body via the relevant minister in Cabinet, though they are "shielded from constant government intervention and legislative oversight" and thus "generally enjoy greater freedom from direct political control than government departments." Crown corporations are distinct from "departmental corporations" such as the Canada Revenue Agency. Crown corporations have a long-standing presence in the country and have been instrumental in its formation. They can provide services required by the public that otherwise would not be economically viable as a private enterprise or that do not fit exactly within the scope of any ministry. They are involved in everything from the distribution, use, and price of certain goods and services to energy development, resource extraction, public transportation, cultural promotion, and property management. As of 2022, there were 47 federal Crown corporations in Canada. Provinces and territories operate their own Crown corporations independently of the federal government. (en)
  • Une société de la Couronne, ou société d'État, est, dans les pays faisant partie du Commonwealth, une compagnie ou une entreprise indépendante du milieu des affaires, contrôlée par l'État et visant la prestation de services ou la vente et l'exploitation de biens et de ressources, assujetties à un cadre législatif généralement plus restrictif. La société de la Couronne ou société d'État vise habituellement des objectifs de rentabilité et d'autofinancement et a une personnalité juridique distincte que celle de l'État. Contrairement aux ministères gouvernementaux qui sont soumis à un contrôle politique plus direct, les sociétés d'État jouissent d'une plus grande autonomie dans leurs actions et décisions. Cette expression étant le plus souvent utilisée au Canada, cet article traite plus particulièrement des sociétés de la Couronne canadiennes. Elles existent cependant également dans plusieurs pays de tradition britannique, comme la Nouvelle-Zélande. (fr)
