Public agenciesin Alberta are organizations linked to particular government ministries of the Executive Council of Alberta, operating under their direction and mandate. Their functions are roughly equivalent to federal crown corporations. Typically, public agencies are governed by a board of directors whose members are selected and appointed through Orders in Council or Ministerial Orders for fixed terms. Public agencies are generally (with a few exceptions) created and regulated under the Alberta Public Agencies Governance Act (APAGA), which stipulates their responsibilities, restrictions, and general structures.[1] Many public agencies are also subject to more specific legislation and acts. There are five main categories of public agencies in Alberta:
Regulatory/Adjudicative: Regulatory agencies license, make rules for, and oversee sectors of society and economy. Adjudicative agencies have quasi-judicial powers, such as ruling on appeals. Some agencies combine both sets of functions.
Public Trust: These agencies administer provincial financial, cultural, and other assets for public purposes.
Corporate Enterprise: Corporate enterprises provide, sell, and market goods and services.
Service Delivery: These agencies provide and direct government services, such as healthcare and post-secondary education.
Advisory: These agencies provide advice to the government, acting as industry and stakeholder representatives.[2]
As agencies are funded by and responsible to government ministries, they are supposed to operate transparently, and must publicly report board member compensation, travel and hospitality expenses, annual reports, codes of conduct, and mandate documents.
There are 231 public agencies in Alberta as of January 2024:
