The Laurentian Pilotage Authority (French : Administration de pilotage des Laurentides) 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. [2] The corporation is responsible for pilotage through Canadian waters in Quebec north of the Saint-Lambert Lock, excluding Chaleur Bay south of Cap d'Espoir. [1]
