What it does

The Canadian Commercial Corporation (CCC) is governed by its enacting legislation, the 1946 Canadian Commercial Corporation Act. The Act outlines CCC’s broad mandate, which is to assist in the development of trade by helping Canadian exporters access markets abroad and by helping foreign buyers obtain goods from Canada. The legislation also provides CCC with a range of powers, including the ability to export goods from Canada either as principal or as agent in such a manner and to such an extent as it deems appropriate. As a result, CCC facilitates export transactions from Canada by negotiating and executing bilateral government-to-government procurement arrangements and utilizing Canadian companies to fulfill supply requirements.

CCC’s funding is derived primarily from two sources: an appropriation specifically to fund CCC’s delivery of the US-Canada Defence Production Sharing Agreement (DPSA) and cost recoveries from all other fee-based international activities.

CCC reports to Parliament through the Minister of International Trade, Export Promotion, Small Business and Economic Development.
