 This ownership structure makes it what is known in Canada parlance as a "Crown corporation".To understand BCLC's corporate structure, one must also refer to the provincial "Gaming Control Act" (GCA), which stipulates that despite being incorporated under provincial company law, the provisions of the "Business Corporations Act" do not apply to BCLC.The GCA sets out that BCLC is to be governed by a board of up to 9 directors, whose members and chairperson are appointed by the executive council of the current provincial government.
