Join Robert Hunt (Grant Thornton Ltd.) & Dr. Mohammad Rahaman (Sobey School of Business) as they demystify Canada's Insolvency Regime.
Despite the dogma associated with bankruptcy, it is an essential part of the creative destruction process of a dynamic and vibrant capitalistic economy. The speed and severity of the economic downturn induced by the COVID-19 global pandemic and the ensuing extraordinary uncertainty have raised the spectre of consumer and business insolvencies in the post-pandemic Canadian economic landscape. Is bankruptcy a dead end or is it a fresh start? As the economic toll of the pandemic is still unfolding, how should financially struggling consumers and businesses approach the insolvency process? How can the policy makers ensure that financial distress is resolved efficiently and timely to preserve the vibrancy of our market-oriented economy? This webinar will address some these key questions paramount to Canadian consumers, businesses, and policy makers during this COVID-19 global pandemic.
