Canada Business Corporations Act

Corporate For-Profit Law

The Canada Business Corporations Act (CBCA) (justice.gc.ca) provides the basic corporate governance framework for many small and medium-sized Canadian enterprises as well as many of the largest corporations operating in Canada. Over 155,000 companies are incorporated under the CBCA, including over 700 distributing or publicly-held corporations. CBCA corporations make up approximately 50 percent of Canada's largest business corporations.
