Consumer Proposal
A consumer proposal is an offer made by a debtor (through a trustee in bankruptcy or a person appointed by the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy to administer consumer proposals) to his or her creditors to modify his or her payments. To learn more about consumer proposals visit the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy website.

Bankruptcy
Bankruptcy is a legal process performed under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act. Because of your inability to pay your debts, you assign all of your assets, except those exempt by provincial law, to a licensed trustee in bankruptcy. This process relieves you of most debts, and legal proceedings against you by creditors should stop. To learn more about bankruptcy visit the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy website.
