For the record, I don't think Canadians would describe it the way you are.
One thing Canadians need to know, to answer your question, is that SDTC was created by an act of Parliament. I just want you to be aware of that. The Government of Canada does not control the board. The Government of Canada appoints a number of people on the board. They have their own board. They have their own chair. They have their own CEO, and that's why Parliament at the time wanted to make sure they would be independent.
