  • Private Placement of Securities in Canada
    January 2015
    Securities regulation in Canada is a matter of provincial jurisdiction and each of the ten Canadian provinces and three territories has its own securities regulatory body that enforces the relevant local legislation and generally has the power to promulgate rules, regulations and policies with respect to securities trading. Although the legal requirements with respect to securities offerings are substantially similar in each province and territory, there are some unique features to each regime.
  • Macroeconomic Aspects of Retirement Savings
    April 23, 2014
    The adequacy of future retirement income to support individual target levels of consumption for Ontarians and Canadians is an important problem for both individuals and governments. Indeed, on average, Canadian workers are far from saving enough to support in retirement a standard of living that they would find satisfactory. Unless the economy generates higher labour productivity growth than is currently projected, governments in the future will be under great pressure to tax an almost static population of workers to support transfers to a very fast-growing population of elderly. La suffisance du revenu de retraite futur pour préserver les niveaux cibles de consommation individuelle des Ontariens et des Canadiens est un enjeu important pour les particuliers et les pouvoirs publics. En effet, en moyenne, les travailleurs canadiens sont loin d'épargner suffisamment pour soutenir un niveau de vie satisfaisant à la retraite. À moins d'une croissance de la productivité du travail supérieure aux prévisions actuelles, les gouvernements futurs se verront forcés d'imposer une population active quasi statique pour financer les transferts à une population de personnes gées en forte croissance.

  • Class Actions in 2011 and Anticipated Trends for 2012
    January 05, 2012
    In 2011, Canadian courts continued to demonstrate an expansive and plaintiff-friendly approach to class actions. The year's developments have provided clarification in some opaque areas of class actions law, but have left a number of questions to be answered in the future. It remains difficult to avoid certification and class action defense practitioners are turning their focus to post-certification battles, including common issues trials. However, in the areas of competition and employment, some of the most important decisions on certification and on the merits of the claims are still yet to come, with noteworthy appellate decisions expected in 2012 and 2013.
