Summary of Proposal:
The Ministry of Government and Consumer Services is seeking feedback on the attached report on priorities and recommendations for reform of Ontario's corporate and commercial legislation.
This report makes recommendations related to five key themes:
1. Establishing a process to keep corporate and commercial law current;
2. Making Ontario a jurisdiction of choice for business;
3. Supporting greater market certainty and confidence in market transactions;
4. Modernizing laws relating to secured lending and other commercial activity; and
5. Facilitating market activity and promoting small business growth through greater certainty, clarity, and efficiency in business legislation.
In February 2015 the Ministry of Government and Consumer Services invited a volunteer panel of experts in corporate and commercial law to develop recommendations. This initiative is part of the government's broader commitment to building a dynamic business climate and solidifying Ontario's position as a jurisdiction of choice for business.
Based on the responses provided to the consultation on this report, the ministry will develop a reform agenda to ensure that Ontario has modern corporate and commercial statutes that facilitate an efficient market and prosperous business climate.
