Welcome to the 25th edition of
Capital Perspectives: Ottawa's Business Law Update.
This authoritative resource provides legal insight and perspective
on the issues that matter to private and public sector
organizations operating in the National Capital Region.
Each issue of Capital Perspectives draws on the Fasken
Martineau Ottawa team's expertise in a variety of specialized
areas of law to help our readers make sense of the events, issues
and trends that impact their organizations.
The theme of this issue is reform, from efforts to boost the
efficiency of the Copyright Board's tariff-setting processes,
to Ontario's Bill 148 that promises significant changes to the
Employment Standards Act and the Labour Relations
Act, and to Bill 142 which takes aim at Ontario's
Construction Lien Act. We also dive into "smart
contracts" based on Blockchain technology, and recap News and
Events.
