These services have since evolved alongside changes in the Canadian legal and regulatory framework governing insolvency, including processes such as personal bankruptcy and consumer proposals.
Insolvency services are carried out by licensed insolvency trustees, who are regulated by the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy of Canada. Trustees affiliated with Raymond Chabot are listed in the official registry maintained by the Government of Canada.[9][10] Trustees may also be identified using search tools provided by the Canadian Association of Insolvency and Restructuring Professionals (CAIRP).[11]
