The Canada Not For Profit Corporations Act: Perceived impact on the governance of federal sport organizations

This thesis examined the impact of the Canada Not-for-Profit Corporations Act (2009) on the governance of national sport organizations (NSO). The impact of the legislation was explored through the perceptions of NSO executive leaders and by analyzing the by-laws in effect before the legislation. The legislation was perceived to have the greatest impact on enhancing accountability, specifically affecting membership categories and director selection. The interview data showed that the legislation was necessary to enhance accountability in many NSOs. The Respondents also demonstrated that they understood the goals sought through the legislation. The data also showed that the boards of NSOs were already in alignment with the goals of the legislation. With respect to governance, the data indicated that NSOs rely almost exclusively on their regional sport associations as voting stakeholders. An emerging issue that came out of the results was the role of athletes in the governance of sport organizations.

Les difficultés de l'arrangement statutaire de la L.c.Q. et l'utilisation croissante de celui de la L.c.s.a.

Le présent mémoire analyse les dispositions sur l'arrangement ou compromis avec actionnaires prévues aux articles 192 de la Loi canadienne sur les sociétés par actions et 49 de la Loi sur les compagnies du Québec. Dans un premier temps, l'étude de la genèse des dispositions sur l'arrangement dans les lois canadiennes fait ressortir que ces dispositions ont une origine commune et qu'elles partagent une même philosophie, caractérisée par une dualité entre la permissivité des transactions et la protection des épargnants. L'étude des fondements juridiques des mécanismes prévus dans la loi fédérale et provinciale permet ensuite de réaliser que, alors qu'à l'origine, la disposition québécoise était en quelque sorte le calque de la disposition fédérale, cette dernière a été modifiée postérieurement à la réforme de la loi fédérale, de sorte que plusieurs différences distinguent aujourd'hui ces deux lois au chapitre de l'arrangement. Dans un contexte où des démarches ont été entamées afin de réformer la loi provinciale, la question à laquelle ce mémoire tente de répondre peut se poser en ces termes: La « nouvelle disposition» d'arrangement adoptée par le législateur fédéral rencontre-t-elle mieux les objectifs de permissivité des transactions et de protection des épargnants que la disposition québécoise qui, pour sa part, est demeurée pratiquement inchangée depuis son adoption? L'étude parallèle de ces dispositions permet de constater que la «nouvelle disposition» d'arrangement de la L.c.s.a. semble davantage rencontrer ces objectifs.

The Australian insolvency regime revisited: a precis of the next leap forward

Australian corporate insolvency laws contained within Chapter 5 of the Corporations Act are currently being reviewed with respect to four principal areas identified by Australian Government Treasury. The four themes of review include employee ‘benefit’ enhancements; seeking to deter misconduct of company officers; rules around insolvency practitioner disclosure with respect to their remuneration and related independence issues; and some minor proposed changes to the voluntary administration procedure, widely regarded as requiring only minor adjustment. At this time, the draft legislation is not available for general release and is being discussed within the Australian Government appointed Insolvency Law Advisory Group. The next steps are public comment for review of draft legislation and then operation of the legislative change. These are expected to occur in 2007. This paper seeks to outline the likely issues associated with the expected reforms of the Australian insolvency regime.
