Corporations Canada sent out a reminder about these upcoming changes last month. It explained that these amendments are needed to \u201callow some of the provisions\u201d of the 2018 \u201cto become operational.\u201d It also included a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gazette.gc.ca\/rp-pr\/p2\/2022\/2022-03-16\/html\/index-eng.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">link to the regulations<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The page starts with the text of all the regulatory amendments \u2026 not an easy read! The most helpful, plain language part of the page is found at the very bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the purpose for the amendments?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gazette.gc.ca\/rp-pr\/p2\/2022\/2022-03-16\/html\/sor-dors40-eng.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">objective<\/a> is to \u201cprovide detailed requirements around the election of directors,\u201d (under the <em>Canada Business Corporations Act <\/em>and the <em>Canada Cooperatives Act<\/em>)the retention and production of documents, and to make technical amendments that allow the amendments to become operational. Of these three categories of change, the second and third are relevant to the <em>NFP Act<\/em>. We\u2019ll look only at the <em>NFP Act<\/em>-related changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the changes?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First, retention &amp; production of documents by the Director. This does not mean your organization\u2019s corporate directors, but the Director appointed by a government minister to administer the <em>NFP Act<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The current retention period for most documents received by the Director is six-years. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gazette.gc.ca\/rp-pr\/p2\/2022\/2022-03-16\/html\/sor-dors40-eng.html\">Canada Gazette sets out the changes in this Table<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Retention period<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Types of documents<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Two years after receipt or issuance by the Director<br><\/td><td><br>annual returns letters of satisfaction<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><br>Three years after receipt<\/td><td><br>financial statements<br><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><br>Six years after receipt<br><\/td><td><br>proxy circulars diversity disclosure exemption applications<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><br>Indefinite<\/td><td><br>articles and certificates, letters patent, supplementary letters patent, charters and surrender of charters list of directors registered office address by-laws<br><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, the technical amendments. These do some regulatory \u2018clean up\u2019, changing corporate naming rules, and correcting English and French inconsistencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On corporate names, the changes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>moves the term \u201cdeceptively misdescriptive\u201d to the definitions section (see s 42(1)) from the section prohibiting deceptive misdescriptive names (see s 57)<\/li><li>clarifies language prohibiting \u201cconfusing names\u201d in s 50<\/li><li>removes the word \u201cpool\u201d from list of prohibited name elements (see s 51)<\/li><li>moves the exception regarding the use of family names from s 56(2) (\u201cnon-distinctive names\u201d section) to s 54 (\u201cgeneral prohibitions\u201d section)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For the detailed changes, you\u2019ll want to check the text of the regulations. We\u2019ve also set out a more detailed explanation of the specific changes (except for correcting French language inconsistencies) below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Detailed Explanation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Section<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;38 of the<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;<em>Canada Not-for-profit Corporations Regulations<\/em><\/strong><sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gazette.gc.ca\/rp-pr\/p2\/2022\/2022-03-16\/html\/sor-dors40-eng.html#fn3\"><\/a><\/sup><strong>&nbsp;is replaced by the following:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>38<\/strong>&nbsp;For the purpose of section&nbsp;238 of the Act, the prescribed period is six years beginning on the day on which the corporation is dissolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Section 38 deals with prescribed time periods relating to the liquidation and dissolution of CNCA corporations.

The amendment moves this exception from the \u201cnon-distinctive names\u201d prohibitions (s 56) into the \u201cfamily name\u201d section of the general prohibitions (s 54).
