2005 was the first full year of operation for the British Columbia Railway Company (BCRC) after the completion of the BC Rail Investment Partnership in July 2004. The focus for the company in 2005 was the new mandate as revised by the Company<U+2019>s shareholder, the Province of British Columbia (Shareholder), in 2004. The Company<U+2019>s new mandate is to ensure the effective and efficient management of the longterm lease agreement (Revitalization Agreement) between itself and the Canadian National Railway Company (CN) and to effectively complete the disposal of its remaining operating units and non-railway related real estate assets in a manner which will maximize the economic and financial return to the Shareholder.
