Starting on January 22, 2024, corporations under the Canada Business Corporations Act (CBCA) that are required to maintain a register of individuals with significant control (ISCs) will have to file that information with the director under the CBCA. Information on ISCs will have to be filed (1) annually, (2) within 15 days after recording a change to the register and (3) following any incorporation, amalgamation or continuance under the CBCA.
Corporations Canada has advised that the annual filing of the ISC information must be made at the same time as the filing of a corporation’s annual return. Annual returns must be filed within 60 days of a corporation’s anniversary date (the date on which the corporation was incorporated or otherwise came into existence under the CBCA) not its year end.
The director will not be required to make information about an ISC public immediately, but that will change once pending amendments to the CBCA are proclaimed in force. Law enforcement agencies and the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada will have access to information on ISCs filed with the director.
The information that must be filed with the director starting on January 22, 2024, is set out here.

The case of Robert Kneschke v. LAION e.V. marks a significant milestone in the legal landscape concerning the use of copyright works for AI training. As the first of its kind in Germany, the outcome of the case has the potential to reshape the intersection of AI development and copyright law, setting a precedent with broad implications for the AI industry and intellectual property protection. With many stakeholders tracking the case closely, the decision in the case could influence similar legal battles across Europe and beyond.

On 21 May 2024, the European Council (or Council) adopted the so-called ‘Hydrogen and decarbonised gas market package’ (the Gas Package). The package contains a recast of the 715/2009 gas regulation (Gas Regulation) and a recast of the 2009/73 gas directive (Gas Directive) aimed at reforming the existing EU regulatory framework to support the deployment of renewable and low-carbon gases, in particular hydrogen. As such, it represents a major development in the EU gas market.
