Reporting to Parliament


Crown Corporations Subject to Part X of the Financial Administration Act

Crown corporations subject to Part X of the Financial Administration Act (FAA) are required to prepare annual reports (including the audited financial statements) and summaries of their approved corporate plans and budgets for tabling in Parliament by the responsible Minister.

The annual report of each parent Crown corporation is to be submitted to the responsible minister within three months after the end of the corporation's financial year, and the minister shall have a copy of the report laid before each House of Parliament on any of the first 15 days on which that House is sitting after the minister receives the report.

Corporate plan, operating budget, capital budget or amended plan or budget summaries that are required to be tabled in each House of Parliament are to be tabled on any of the first 30 days on which that House is sitting after:

  1. in the case of a summary of a corporate plan or amended plan, the approval of the plan by the Governor in Council in accordance with section 122 of the FAA;
  1. in the case of a summary of an operating budget, capital budget or amended budget that is included in a corporate plan, the approval referred to in paragraph (a); and
  1. in the case of a summary of an operating budget, capital budget or amended budget, other than such a budget referred to in paragraph (b), the approval of the budget by the Treasury Board in accordance with section 123 or section 124 of the FAA, as the case may be.

The above reports, once tabled, stand permanently referred to the committee of Parliament that has been designated or established to review matters relating to the businesses and activities of the corporation submitting the report.
