| | Securities Act - The Metropolitan Corporate Counsel |
 | | Under the Investment Canada Act, the federal government has the ability to subject acquisitions of control by non-Canadians of Canadian businesses to review, which requires a foreign investor in such circumstances to satisfy the minister responsible for administration of the legislation that the investment would be of net benefit to Canada. |
 | | The government does not think or act like a co-party in a commercial matter, however, and in any situation where the interests of business and the government collide, outside expertise in the government process may be required to achieve a resolution. |
 | | Securities Litigation shows how major changes enacted in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act, the Securities Litigation Uniform Standards Act, and related decisional law have affected pleadings standards, discovery, loss causation, plaintiffs' use of state courts in securities class actions, and other procedural issues. |
