Canadian Crown corporations are corporations wholly owned by the Crown and most are agents of the Crown with each ultimately accountable, through a relevant minister, to Parliament for the conduct of its affairs. As a result, Crown corporations represent more broadly a specific form of state-owned enterprise owned by the Sovereign of Canada. They are established by an Act of Parliament and report to that body via the relevant minister in cabinet, though they are "shielded from constant government intervention and legislative oversight" and thus "generally enjoy greater freedom from direct political control than government departments."
