Bill PR45 revives Jinghua Trading (Canada) Ltd., a corporation that was voluntarily dissolved in 2017, restoring all its property, rights, and liabilities as they existed at the time of dissolution.
Bill PR45 is special legislation that brings a corporation called Jinghua Trading (Canada) Ltd. back to life. The corporation had been voluntarily dissolved under Ontario's Business Corporations Act on May 4, 2017. The founder and former director, Huagang Guan, asked the Ontario Legislature to revive the corporation because it held real property (land or buildings) that needs to be dealt with. When the corporation is revived, it will be restored to the same legal position it had before it was dissolved, meaning it will get back all its property, rights, privileges, and other assets. However, the revival does not affect any rights that other people may have acquired after the corporation was dissolved. The corporation will also take back all of its liabilities, contracts, disabilities, and debts from the time it was dissolved. The law comes into effect on the day it received Royal Assent (June 2, 2026).
