In order to ensure that Business Law in Canada continues to be a valuable resource to post-secondary instructors and students, the 12th edition has undergone a thoughtful revision, incorporating changes based on the increased importance of the internet, information technology, and intellectual property. It also incorporates the large amount of feedback and many thoughtful suggestions provided by users of the 11th edition.

Changes to the 12th Edition

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada made 94 calls to action in order to redress the legacy of residential schools and advance the process of Canadian reconciliation. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has promised to implement all of the calls to action that relate to the federal government. Also, Colleges and Institutes Canada (CICan) has developed the Indigenous Education Protocol for Colleges and Institutes to support its members commitment to improving and better serving Indigenous education. The influence of Indigenous people in Canada is increasing through treaties, the Constitution, the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the Indian Act, land claims, devolution agreements, and self-government. This growing influence is being felt in the business world. One example involves the impact of Indigenous groups on the approval and the building of pipelines.

In light of these developments, it appears appropriate to incorporate relevant Indigenous legal issues into Business Law in Canada. Doing so is consistent with the calls to action, the CICan Protocol, and the growing impact of Indigenous legal issues on business. Incorporating relevant Indigenous legal issues adds a new dimension to the textbook. It signals a moving away from the solely European or colonial view of Canadian law and the Canadian legal system. Some issues will be framed from an Indigenous perspective, reflecting many factors, including treaties, the Constitution, the Charter, legislation and case law. It is hoped that this change in approach has resulted in culturally sensitive content that will provide all business law students with insights and knowledge that will help them to understand the situation in Canada regarding its Indigenous people. Such insights and knowledge are integral to sophisticated clients making business decisions in Canada.

All of the legislative and judicial references have been updated throughout the book. Additional key changes for each chapter are listed here.
