Who controls this corporation. Federal corporations must file their Individuals with Significant Control with Corporations Canada. That register is not redistributed here — it can only be searched by corporation name or number, by design, so it cannot become a lookup by a person’s name.

This is the narrowest slate the source publishes — name, position, and tenure only; no address, phone, or email exists in the file to withhold.

Public money on record

across 11 agreements, 2013–2026

Value as published, not money paid. The federal contract value field includes the ceiling of standing offers and supply arrangements — purchasing capacity a department may never draw on. A large figure here can mean a large ceiling rather than a large payment.
Awards are attached to this record only where the evidence identifies exactly one organisation: a name and postal area that narrow to a single company, or a name unique across the whole national corpus. Proactive publication truncates the vendor postal code to three characters, so anything that could belong to more than one company is left unattached rather than guessed at. Totals are a floor in that direction. The full rules.

Why this is one record
4 publishers describe this organisation. They were joined into one record because the evidence below agreed — never on a matching name alone.
- Shares business number 723946323asserted by Canada Revenue Agency and Corporations Canada (Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada)
- Same name and postal code M5G 1M1asserted by Canada Revenue Agency and Corporations Canada (Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada)
- Same name and address — mars centre west tower, toronto, ONasserted by Canada Revenue Agency and Corporations Canada (Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada)
An automatic merge requires a shared business number, or a matching name AND address — never a name by itself. How resolution works.
