There must
be something in the air, since two more professions have
just joined the ranks of those authorized to carry on
professional activities within a corporation or limited
liability partnership. Indeed, denturologists and veterinary
surgeons are at the heels of four other professions; their
respective draft regulations were published earlier this year in
March. The regulations authorizing companies and limited
liability partnerships for these two professions were just
published in the July 10, 2008 edition of Part 2 of the Gazette officielle du Québec, Vol. 140, No. 28. They are: Regulation respecting the practice of denturology within a
partnership or a joint-stock company, O.C. 685-2008, G.O. 2,
2900 and Regulation respecting the practice of the profession
of veterinary surgeon within a partnership or a joint-stock
company, O.C. 688-2008, G.O. 2909 (the page numbers are
those of the English edition of the Gazette). Both Regulations
are due to come into force on the fifteenth day following their
publication in the Gazette, which in this case is July 24th,
2008.
The other four recent professions: optometrists,
guidance counsellors and psychoeducators, dentists as well as
pharmacists.

EXCEPTIONAL MEASURES SET UP FOR MASS PROCESSING OF THE ARTICLES
OF AMENDMENT IN EARLY 2008
The Enterprise Registrar notifies his customers that he has implemented exceptional measures in order to issue early next year the certificates of amendment resulting from the application of Regulation 45-106. The following is a translation of the Registrar’s message received in French.
« Message to our customers
Measures set up to process the applications to amend articles of incorporation
Last September we informed our customers that we had received a significant number of applications for articles of amendment. This exceptional situation was caused by the deadline related to Regulation 45-106 respecting Prospectus and Registration Exemptions.
As a result, innovative solutions were sought and set up in order to effectively deal with this situation. A new technological infrastructure was designed to help process these applications and to make it easier to adopt new mass processing procedures.
These changes were made on a priority basis and we are thus happy to inform you that the certificates for articles of amendment will be issued as early as January 2008. Consequently, the first few weeks of 2008 should see the reduction of the significant number of applications received during the fall.
With these measures, we seek to meet the needs of our customers and to ensure that their applications are processed in the usual time frame.
