CANADIAN SOCIETY OF CORPORATE SECRETARIES

SHAREHOLDER COMMUNICATION INITIATIVE
Effective reform proposals that ensure equality, fairness, simplicity and clarity for all shareholders
of Canadian companies

This CSCS policy initiative explores the more important challenges that beneficial ownership of securities presents in the Canadian market.  The CSCS White Paper on Shareholder Communication available for download on this page proposes specific reforms to the current rules including proposals to amend the existing corporation statutes and the securities rules relating to shareholder communications.  These proposals, when they are adopted, will eliminate the most significant disparities that currently exist between beneficial and registered ownership as well as the challenges that issuers regularly face in their attempts to treat all their holders with an even and fair hand.
