1. The existing definition of “every one”, “person”, “owner” with its lengthy list of entities that are included was repealed and replaced with definition that includes only Her Majesty and an organization. In turn, the definition of “organization” lists the major players in the Canadian economy but it also includes any association of persons that has a common purpose and a structure and holds itself out to the public as an association. It is expected that this definition will cover any way that persons, including corporations, come together. It would include a joint venture of several corporations even if the joint venture was itself not incorporated. It might also cover neighbors who, for example, come together, elect an executive, open a bank account and send out a press release under the name of the association.
