It operates under the authority of the Bank of Canada Act, which received royal assent in 1934. To achieve its mandate, the Bank of Canada promotes solid economic performance and higher living standards for Canadians by keeping inflation low, stable, and predictable through the use of a clearly defined inflation target. It is responsible for the design, production, and distribution of paper currency (bank notes) and for ensuring that there is a sufficient supply of bank notes and that those notes are secure against counterfeiting. The Bank of Canada also promotes the safe and efficient operation of the country’s financial system, helping Canada’s payments system function smoothly and keeping accounts for the country’s largest deposit-taking institutions. The Bank of Canada identifies the clearing and settlement systems that could pose systemic risks and oversees the efficient management and control of these risks. The Bank of Canada is the federal government’s fiscal agent: it acts as banker and manager for Canada’s debt and reserves, manages the government’s exposure to financial risks, and handles the deposit accounts of the Receiver General for Canada.

To increase, throughout Canada and internationally, interest in, knowledge of, and appreciation and respect for the natural world by establishing, maintaining, and developing for research and posterity a collection of natural history objects, with special but not exclusive reference to Canada, and by demonstrating the natural world, the knowledge derived from it, and the understanding it represents. The Canadian Museum of Nature originated in the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC), which was formed in 1842 by Sir William Logan. The GSC mandate to furnish a “full and scientific description of Canada’s rocks, soils and minerals together with a collection of specimens to illustrate the same” was subsequently embedded into a new Museum of Geology and Natural History, which opened at the Victoria Memorial Museum Building in 1912. The present-day Canadian Museum of Nature became a Crown corporation on July 1, 1990, by the Museums Act. As Canada’s Museum of Natural History and Science, the Canadian Museum of Nature plays a key role in discovering and describing new species of plants, animals, minerals, and fossils and in understanding their relationship to ever-changing environments. It is a major contributor to Arctic research and species discovery and is responsible for preserving for posterity the natural history record of Canada. The Natural Heritage Building in Gatineau, Quebec, opened in 1997 and is the main storage facility, housing over 10.5 million specimens. By acting as a catalyst for the creation of a network of 16 natural history museums and institutions spanning each province and territory of Canada—the Alliance of Natural History Museums of Canada—the Canadian Museum of Nature has developed opportunities for national debate, coordinated scientific enquiry and research, joint collections development, and public education activities across the country. In this way, the Canadian Museum of Nature strives to be an engaging and trusted resource for the development of a sound, knowledge-based relationship with the natural world.

C-44 2008 All provision of Part X of the Financial Administration Act, other than section 90, that apply only to parent Crown corporations apply to PPP Canada Inc. PPP Canada’s mandate is to improve the delivery of public infrastructure by achieving better value, timeliness, and accountability to taxpayers through public private partnerships (P3s). As Canada’s existing public infrastructure continues to age and the requirements for replacement and new infrastructure increase, governments must find ways of stretching their infrastructure dollars further. Across Canada, governments have begun to recognize the value of engaging private sector innovation to build more for less, where possible, and deliver savings that will help to fill the infrastructure gap. P3s are an alternative method for procuring large and complex public infrastructure projects. They offer three major benefits which are better costs and delay controls, optimization of risk and resources and innovation. P3 contracts are typically long-term engagements which use specific financial structures to leverage performance and innovation from the private sector and divest the taxpayer of risks associated with the design, construction, maintenance and operation of the infrastructure. PPP Canada’s operations focus on building P3 procurement knowledge and capacity among federal departments and leveraging greater value for money from federal investments in provincial, territorial, municipal and First Nations infrastructure through the P3 Canada Fund.

The government responded by establishing the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) through the Standards Council of Canada Act, which received royal assent in 1970. The SCC represents Canada’s interests in standards-related matters in foreign and international forums. The SCC performs accreditation of Canadian standards development organizations and conformity assessment organizations in Canada and other countries, as designated in the Standards Council of Canada Act.
