Insolvencies across Canada increased 3.08 percent from August 2022 to September 2022. Bankruptcies increased 1.9 percent and proposals increased by 3.5 percent.  Proposals also make up 77.8 percent of all insolvencies for the pervious twelve months, up from 68.3 percent in the previous twelve months.

The insolvency statistics indicate the benefits of the protections provided to consumers under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act over other non-legislated options.  The filing of a consumer proposal or a bankruptcy comes with legal protections that other service providers cannot give.   You are protected by Federal Law. 

It also indicates that consumers are seeing the benefits of seeking the professional advice of a Licensed Insolvency Trustee rather than those of other non-regulated service providers.
