This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance. Here are a long series of newspaper articles on proposals to eliminate the corporation and labour action by its union https://www.google.com/search?q=BC+Systems+Corp&sca_esv=18b826c2949f34ae&sca_upv=1&tbs=bkt:s&tbm=bks&ei=Af6aZreEMtaC0PEPp5Oo-Ak&start=10&sa=N&ved=2ahUKEwj3iN3yp7SHAxVWATQIHacJCp8Q8NMDegQIDhAW&biw=1850&bih=927&dpr=1 This 1983 article lays out some of the arguments for and against at the time and mentions approximately 300 employees and a budget in the tens of millions of dollars per year https://books.google.ca/books?id=lqFlAAAAIBAJ&pg=PA34&dq=BC+Systems+Corp&article_id=1287,184610&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj3iN3yp7SHAxVWATQIHacJCp8Q6AF6BAgLEAI#v=onepage&q=BC%20Systems%20Corp&f=false

I am having trouble finding stories from the 1990s but believe that someone skilled in searching news of that period would find more.

There is a dedicated page for Crown Corporations of British Columbia including some which no longer exist https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_British_Columbia_Government_Agencies_and_Crown_Corporations One of these is said to have about 1/10 the budget which BCSC had in 1983. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bookandswordblog (talk • contribs) 00:11, 20 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
