Proper disclosure has been recognized by the Supreme Court of Canada as "the heart and soul of the securities regulations across Canada". Issuers are required to disclose two kinds of information to investors: "material facts" (which are to be disclosed periodically) and "material changes" (which are to be disclosed "forthwith"). But determining whether a particular event is a "material fact" or a "material change" is nuanced—in fact, it has been described as "perhaps the most difficult area of securities law". The inconsistent approaches courts have taken in trying to delineate between the two has resulted in uncertainty for both investors and issuers.
