The Great Lakes Pilotage Authority (French : Administration de pilotage des Grands Lacs) is a Crown corporation of the Government of Canada, which was established as a result of recommendations made by the Royal Commission on Pilotage in Canada, by the Pilotage Act in February 1972. [3] Initially incorporated as a limited company in May 1972, it became an independent Crown corporation in 1998. [3] The corporation is responsible for pilotage through Canadian waters in Manitoba and Ontario, as well as waters in Quebec south of the Saint-Lambert Lock. In international waters (predominantly the Great Lakes and the Saint Lawrence Seaway), pilotage is a shared responsibility between the Great Lakes Pilotage Authority and American pilot associations. [1]
In 2017, the pilotage authority was the subject of a special examination by the Auditor General of Canada. [4]
