This is an annual publication. The 2008 report was released February 2009.

Description:

The 2008 Annual Report to Parliament on Crown Corporations and Other Corporate Interests of Canada is prepared in accordance with sections 151 and 152 of the Financial Administration Act. These sections require that the president of the Treasury Board table annually a consolidated report on the businesses and activities of all parent Crown corporations and information on other corporate interests of Canada. The president is also required to indicate when reports and summaries were due to be tabled in each House of Parliament and when they were actually tabled. This information is collected through an annual call for corporate information undertaken by the Treasury Board Secretariat.

This report is a unique source of information on the Government of Canada's corporate holdings. It provides comprehensive information on the activities of all Crown corporations and their wholly owned subsidiaries, as well as the other corporate interests of Canada. Information on the performance of a number of Crown corporations is also highlighted in the report.

Tabled in the House of Commons on January 28, 2009, the report for 2008 presents additional information, including a description of the federal institutional forms that make up the Government of Canada as well as an inventory of such institutions, collected pursuant to the Policy on Reporting of Federal Institutions and Corporate Interests to Treasury Board Secretariat, which came into effect on April 1, 2007. This policy supports the annual updating of information regarding the current composition of the Government of Canada as well as the current federal participation in mixed and joint enterprises, international organizations, and shared governance corporations.

Crown Corporations and Other Corporate Interests of Canada comprises the following chapters:

Overview of Federal Government Institutions: identifies and briefly describes the different types of federal government institutions and provides a listing of institutional forms by ministerial portfolio.
Crown Corporations' Corporate Holdings: which highlights policy developments affecting Crown corporations during the reporting period, outlines the various types of reviews and audits that Crown corporations have been subjected to, lists parent Crown corporations and their subordinate interests by ministerial portfolio (noting changes since last year's report), and provides consolidated financial and employment information. The reporting period runs from August 1, 2007, to July 31, 2008, unless otherwise stated. Corporate profiles for each Crown corporation have also been included in this chapter in addition to the required report on the timely tabling of Crown corporation documentation.
Other Corporate Interests of Canada: describes shared-governance, mixed, joint, and international corporations, any corporations or shares held by the government as a result of the provisions of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, and compares changes in corporate interests since last year's report. This chapter also includes basic information on the composition of the boards of directors of companies in which the federal government holds an interest.

Beginning with the 2008 report, Crown Corporations and Other Corporate Interests of Canada is published in a bilingual format. Previous reports were published in separate English and French editions. The 2008 report also comes with a companion volume titled Corporate Profiles of Other Corporate Interests of Canada.
