Manitoba Crown Services—through the Crown Services Secretariat—provides strategic, regulatory, and policy support to the Crown corporations of Manitoba, as well as assisting in the reporting and oversight of all Crown corporations governed by the Crown Corporation Governance and Accountability Act.[2]
There are currently five Crown corporations governed by Act: Manitoba Hydro, Manitoba Public Insurance, Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries, Manitoba Centennial Centre Corporation, and Efficiency Manitoba.[2] These corporations must abide by the following principal reporting requirements: a roles and responsibility record, annual business plans, and quarterly and annual financial reports.[2]
Oversight over Manitoba's crown corporations was previously the responsibility of an 8-member panel called the Crown Corporations Council,[3] which was dissolved in 2016.[4]
The Secretariat consists of two units:[2]
- the Policy Unit — "prepares documents, manages legislative and regulatory needs, provides analysis of major capital proposals and liaises with Crowns to address concerns of Manitobans."
- the Regulatory Unit — "ensures compliance with reporting requirements of the act, and provides analysis and advice with respect to business plans, capital plans and other major decisions that boards of the Crown corporations may make."
