All insolvencies, bankruptcy or proposal, personal or corporate, business or non business, are a matter of public record. The information is located in a database maintained by the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy. An online search may be conducted (for a small fee) by anyone.
Also, all insolvencies are reported to the various credit reporting agencies, the best known being Equifax and TransUnion for personal matters and Dun & Bradstreet for business matters. The information is available to all subscribers to their respective services.
Finally, all personal bankruptcies with expected asset realization of $15,000 or more and all corporate bankruptcies are printed in a local newspaper.
