The government holds the majority of the voting shares or a "golden share" that confers the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the organization. Government organizations don’t often have voting shares. But, if they do, and the government owns a majority of them, this ownership would be a persuasive indicator of control. 3, record 1, English, - golden%20share

Le gouvernement détient la majorité des actions avec droit de vote ou une «action préférentielle» qui lui donne le pouvoir d’orienter les politiques financières et administratives de l’organisme. Souvent, les organismes publics n’ont pas d’actionsavec droit de vote. Mais lorsqu’ils en ont, et que le gouvernement en détient la majorité, ce droit constitue un indicateur convaincant de contrôle. 5, record 1, French, - action%20pr%C3%A9f%C3%A9rentielle
