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. Search it directly for corporation number 1013998: Corporations Canada — federal corporation search.
Québec keeps a fuller record than this one. The Registre des entreprises publishes each registered business’s directors, officers and ultimate beneficiaries — the ownership question no federal source answers in bulk. It is not reproduced here: it is published under a licence forbidding commercial use and requiring derivatives to carry the same terms, which this project will not impose on the open data it is joined to. Search it directly: Registre des entreprises du Québec. Why it is not used here.
Evidence depth

Deep recordThis scores the depth of the public evidence assembled here. It does not score the organisation’s quality, reputation, solvency or risk. The formula is fixed and reproducible. See the formula.

Where this organisation appears in public records
Eight independent dimensions describe the size and shape of the evidence. They are deliberately not added into one company score: a licence, a grant, a director filing and a court finding mean different things.
Footprint is not performance.
A larger bar means more public records of that kind. It does not mean better, worse, safer, larger, more profitable or more reputable.

Each dimension uses fixed, logarithmic caps so one dataset with thousands of repeated rows cannot drown out every other fact. Read the formula and limits.

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.

This is a different fact from public money above: a standing offer or supply arrangement means the government has pre-agreed to buy specific goods or services from this organisation at set terms if it chooses to — it does not mean any money has changed hands. The source publishes only currently active agreements and carries no dollar figure at all, unlike the contract value field, which sometimes states a ceiling rather than a payment. How this is attached.

Why this is one record
4 public datasets from 3 independent publishers describe this organisation. They were joined into one record because the evidence below agreed — never on a matching name alone.
- Same name and postal code N6A 4T1asserted by Corporations Canada (Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada)
- Same name and address — p o box 5757, london, ONasserted by Corporations Canada (Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada)
- Same name and postal code N5V 3R6asserted by Corporations Canada (Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada)
- Same name and address — 1840 oxford east, london, ONasserted by 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.

Freshness is measured, not implied. “Last captured” is when this project last completed a read of the whole source dataset. “Coverage kept” is how many immutable captures and meaningful capture-to-capture comparisons are available. A missed day remains an explicit gap; a later snapshot cannot tell us what happened inside it. See every source.
This page is assembled from open data. It is not an official record, and the registrar is authoritative where the two disagree. How records are assembled.
