The B.C. Ferry Authority is established in April 2003 by the government of British Columbia.[1] It is an independent, no-share capital corporation that holds the single issued voting share[2] of the new BC Ferries, which is also established in April 2003. Both of these companies are meant to reform the delivery of ferry transportation services in British Columbia.[1]
B.C. Ferry Authority has a principal objective of oversighting BC Ferries and to appoint its board of directors.[2] While the current structure claims to ensure the operations of BC Ferries are independent from the provincial government, governance includes local politicians and provincial politicians have interfered with management decisions. A government commission is involved with setting of fares.[citation needed]
