RE: Hard FactsThere is NO definitive source, in Canada!
Hence the REAL need for a company to have a Corporate Governance document so mere mortals can understand how the company functions.
Canada does not have a Federal Act, like the U.S.
Each Province has its own Act. and if its securities are sold in that province the company must adhere to their act, including Ontario.
Many companies use the Ontario Act, which is administered by the OSC. Probably because the TSX is there and it's the center of Canada's financial district.
Then there is the TSX, which has rules that must be followed in order for a company to maintain its listing.
So if any of use thinks we can pull all this data together and come up with anything conclusive we are dreaming! That's for the lawyers and judges to figure out.
