2. Crown Corporations are agencies set up by the federal government or a provincial government. The term, "Crown," refers to the reigning British monarch, who wears a crown during official ceremonies, because the British monarch and her designate in Canada, the Governor General, is the head of state in Canada. Crown thus refers to government. Crown Corporations are structured like a private or independent enterprise. They are set up when a need arises that private companies are unwilling to fill. This need varies in nature from advising, regulating, and administering, to financing and operating a service or agency.
