National Harbours Board
The National Harbours Board was an agency of the Government of Canada, reporting to Parliament through the Minister of Transport. It was in operation from 1936 to 1983. History The idea of a system of national ports was mooted as early as 1905, when it was first recommended in a report by the Royal Commission of Transportation. Although not acted upon at the time, the idea gained more acceptability over time, and the later National Ports Survey by Sir Alexander Gibb in 1932 laid the groundwork for its eventual establishment. The Board was established in 1936, The public harbours at Halifax, Saint John, Chicoutimi, Quebec, Trois-Rivières, Montreal and Vancouver, previously constituted as separate bodies corporate, were dissolved and their property vested in the Board, and provision was made for the possibility of other "harbours and works and other property of the Dominion of Canada" to be transferred to the Board at a later date. In 1983 it was replaced by the Canada Ports Corpor ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Minister Of Transport (Canada)
The minister of transport (french: ministre des transports) is a minister of the Crown in the Canadian Cabinet. The minister is responsible for overseeing the federal government's transportation regulatory and development department, Transport Canada, as well as Canada Post, the Saint Lawrence Seaway, Nav Canada, and the Port Authority system. Since 12 January 2021, the position has been held by Omar Alghabra of the Liberal Party. History The ''Constitution Act, 1867'' under section 92(10) established federal responsibility for land and sea transportation between provinces and internationally. Most transportation duties and powers were placed under the minister of public works, with responsibilities for ports and harbours going to the minister of marine and fisheries. In 1879, the Department of Public Works was divided in two, with powers and duties over rail and inland sea transport going to the newly formed minister of railways and canals.

Sir Alexander Gibb
''Sir'' is a formal honorific address in English for men, derived from Sire in the High Middle Ages. Both are derived from the old French "Sieur" (Lord), brought to England by the French-speaking Normans, and which now exist in French only as part of "Monsieur", with the equivalent "My Lord" in English. Traditionally, as governed by law and custom, Sir is used for men titled as knights, often as members of orders of chivalry, as well as later applied to baronets and other offices. As the female equivalent for knighthood is damehood, the female equivalent term is typically Dame. The wife of a knight or baronet tends to be addressed as Lady, although a few exceptions and interchanges of these uses exist. Additionally, since the late modern period, Sir has been used as a respectful way to address a man of superior social status or military rank. Equivalent terms of address for women are Madam (shortened to Ma'am), in addition to social honorifics such as Mrs, Ms or Miss. ...

Body Corporate
In law, a legal person is any person or 'thing' (less ambiguously, any legal entity) that can do the things a human person is usually able to do in law – such as enter into contracts, sue and be sued, own property, and so on. The reason for the term "''legal'' person" is that some legal persons are not people: companies and corporations are "persons" legally speaking (they can legally do most of the things an ordinary person can do), but they are not people in a literal sense. There are therefore two kinds of legal entities: human and non-human. In law, a human person is called a ''natural person'' (sometimes also a ''physical person''), and a non-human person is called a ''juridical person'' (sometimes also a ''juridic'', ''juristic'', ''artificial'', ''legal'', or ''fictitious person'', la, persona ficta). Juridical persons are entities such as corporations, firms (in some jurisdictions), and many government agencies. They are treated in law as if they were persons. Whil ...

Canada Ports Corporation
The Canada Ports Corporation (also known as Ports Canada) was a port corporation which operated across Canada. An Act of Parliament, which had been promoted by Jean-Luc Pépin, founded it on 24 February 1983, and it was marked as a responsibility of the Minister of Transport. Additionally, Pépin enunciated the Harbour Commissions Act, under which a new National Ports Policy was launched. The Canada Ports Corporation was phased out in 1998 with the creation of the Canada Marine Act (CMA), an act ostensibly to modernize Canada's ports and harbors; prior to the implementation of the CMA, a ''National Marine Policy'' had been written in 1995 under the Ministry of Doug Young. History The reorganization of the National Harbours Board (which had operated since 1936) was instigated by Minister of Transport Jean-Luc Pepin, and in February 1983 resulted, with the passage of the ''Canada Ports Corporation Act'', in the creation of an agency named ''Ports Canada''.

Port Authority
In Canada and the United States, a port authority (less commonly a port district) is a governmental or quasi-governmental public authority for a special-purpose district usually formed by a legislative body (or bodies) to operate ports and other transportation infrastructure. In Canada, the federal Minister of Transport selects the local chief executive board member and the rest of the board is appointed at the recommendation of port users to the federal Minister; while all Canadian port authorities have a federal or Crown charter called '' Letters Patent''. Numerous Caribbean nations have port authorities, including those of Aruba, British Virgin Islands, Bahamas, Jamaica, Cayman Islands, Trinidad and Tobago, St. Lucia, St. Maarten, St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Central and South America also have port agencies such as ''autoridad'' and ''consorcio'' (authority and consortium). In Mexico, the federal government created sixteen port administrations in 1994–1995 called ''Admin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
