	Crown corporation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Crown corporations, in theory, operate on a day-to-day basis at arm's length from the government.
		In Canada, Crown corporations are operated both by provincial governments (the Crown-in-Right-of-Ontario, for example) and the federal government (the Crown-in-Right-of-Canada), as a means to pursue economic, social and political objectives including patronage.
		Canadian Crown corporations 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.

	Crown Corporation
		A central rationale of crown corporations is that the commercial activities of government, to be performed successfully, must be shielded from constant government intervention and legislative oversight.
		In Canada, the reform of crown corporations is proceeding along 2 different courses - the establishment of revised regimes of control and accountability and more controversially, "privatization." In 1984 with the passage of Bill C-24, the federal government replaced the 1951 provisions of the FAA with a new legislative framework.
		A related proposition is that many crown corporations have outlived their usefulness as policy instruments and ought to be sold to the private sector.

		Crown corporations are enterprises wholly owned by federal or provincial governments, but they are structured like private or independent enterprises.
		The federal Financial Administration Act (FAA) declares that Crown corporations are "ultimately accountable, through a minister, to Parliament, for the conduct of (their) affairs," often they are not subject to budgetary systems or the direct control of ministers.

	Canadian Environmentalists Say: Nuclear Power Is No Solution To Climate Change - NIRS

		The undersigned Canadian environmental groups continue to support the CANET position for explicit exclusion of nuclear power from the CDM, and call on the Canadian government, specifically Environment Minister David Anderson and Foreign Affairs Minister Lloyd Axworthy, to abandon their ill-advised campaign to allow the CDM to be applied to nuclear power.
