If you are or will be serving as a director of a Canadian corporation, you will need The Directors Manual. Widely regarded as 'the bible' for directors in Canada, it gives you a plain language overview of the duties, responsibilities, and liabilities you face as a director. In particular, it discusses the potential liability of directors under corporate law, securities regulation, tax, trade practices, labour standards law, and environmental protection legislation. The Manual also includes useful precedents, selected legislation relating to corporate directors, plus numerous checklists and practical tips on how to manage your role as a director, including the associated risks.
