As a result of recommendations made by a Royal Commission on Pilotage in Canada, the Pilotage Act was assented to by Her Majesty and the Governor-in-Council and proclaimed in force February 1, 1972.
The Pilotage Act created four pilotage regions with specific authorities, thereby replacing a large number of local pilotage districts. The four Pilotage Authorities - Atlantic, Laurentian, Great Lakes and Pacific - are Crown corporations, responsible to Parliament through the Minister of Transport.
The Great Lakes Pilotage Authority, Ltd. was established in February 1972 pursuant to the Pilotage Act, incorporated as a limited company in May 1972, and was continued under the Canada Business Corporations Act. Until October 1st, 1998, it operated under the name of Great Lakes Pilotage Authority, Ltd. Pursuant to the Marine Act, which received Royal Assent on June 11 1998, the name of the Authority was changed to Great Lakes Pilotage Authority and the Authority is deemed to have been established under subsection 3(1) of the Pilotage Act. The Authority is a Crown corporation listed in Schedule III, Part I of the Financial Administration Act. On October 1st, 1998, the Authority ceased to be a subsidiary of the St. Lawrence Seaway Authority and has initiated a process to surrender its charter under the Canada Business Corporations Act.
