Short Version

Bill PR33 revives the corporation 1000067464 Ontario Inc., which was voluntarily dissolved in error, restoring it to the legal position it held before dissolution.

What It Means

Bill PR33 is a private bill that brings back a corporation called 1000067464 Ontario Inc. The corporation was dissolved (shut down) on November 3, 2022 under the Business Corporations Act. Richard Flament, who was a director and shareholder at the time, applied to have the corporation revived because he says the dissolution was a mistake. The bill approves this request. Once the bill received Royal Assent on December 6, 2023, the corporation is restored to the same legal position it had before it was dissolved. This means it gets back all its property, rights, privileges, and franchises, but also remains responsible for all its liabilities, contracts, disabilities, and debts. However, any rights that other people acquired after the dissolution are not affected by this revival.
