More from the Criminal code of Canada

“public department” means a department of the Government of Canada or a branch thereof or a board, commission, corporation or other body that is an agent of Her Majesty in right of Canada;

“public stores” includes any personal property that is under the care, supervision, administration or control of a public department or of any person in the service of a public department;



As you can see by definition all "public stores" are linked to the “public department” which is a "body that is an agent of Her Majesty in right of Canada;"
The BC is the missing link.
Its the JOINDER that makes you an agent for the crown.
