Parliament and the public corporations in Canada: a study in public ownership and accountability.

Management of public enterprise in Canada has been generally entrusted to a public corporation which, it is argued, provides the necessary managerial freedom from undesirable political control. It is also considered to encourage both productive competitiveness, and a sufficient degree of public control in accordance with the principle of responsible government. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and the Canadian National Railways are under considerable public control through the media of regulatory and investigative agencies, both parliamentary and governmental. Parliament, which constitutes the apex of the administrative pyramid, possesses sufficient opportunities and methods to exercise its control on these corporations. It is however, suggested that Parliament has not utilized these opportunities to the full extent.
