Description

Canadian bankruptcy law faces a unique situation. Statute c.47 was enacted in late 2005 but has not yet come into force. The "2007 Amending Bill" now calls for substantial amendments to the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act, and Statute c.47.

What exactly do these proposed reforms mean? What influence can parliamentarians, practitioners, and academics exert during this "window period" to change Canadian bankruptcy and insolvency legislation?
