Description

This webinar repeat will provide an introduction to the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP/the Declaration) that was passed by the United Nations General Assembly in 2007. It will provide the history leading up to the passage of the Declaration, including Canada’s position as only one of four countries who voted against it. It will then address why, despite the Declaration’s goals, the Declaration is controversial and ongoing efforts to bring it into law in Canada. Finally it will review BC’s new Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Persons Act (also known as Bill 41), one of the first legislated efforts in the world to bring the Declaration into law, and efforts to implement the Declaration by the federal government.

Attendees will leave with an understanding of the significance of the Declaration, a better understanding of why some people, including Indigenous people, support the aspirations in the Declaration but are concerned about these becoming law, the legal meaning and risks associated with BC’s Bill 41, and potential future events.

Description
On March 9, 2015 Canada’s Protecting Canadians From Online Crime Act (Bill C-13) comes into force. This new Act applies to almost everyone, not just to Crown, law enforcement and the haters, baiters and trolls: ISPs, banks and businesses, families, children and adults. In this discussion style webinar, learn about the Act’s new criminal offence and new investigative powers for law enforcement. These include court orders for: preserving computer data, producing transmission data and GPS, producing financial data and warrants to track persons or vehicles. Penalties for persons, financial institutions or entities that contravene these court orders are steep: $250,000 fines and/or 6 months in prison. This new Act also provides immunity from liability for voluntary disclosures to law enforcement by third parties. Find out how this new Act affects your clients, your practice, your family and you.

Description
Life interest trusts, such as spousal trusts, joint spousal trusts and alter ego trusts, are commonly used in wills and estate planning as will substitutes to avoid the wills variation provisions of the Wills, Estates and Succession Act (WESA) and probate tax. Digested all of the changes to WESA? Now find out if you can trust your trusts. Effective January 1, 2016, there are significant changes in taxation of life interest trusts under Canada’s Income Tax Act: tax arising from the death of a lifetime beneficiary is shifted from a life interest trust to the lifetime beneficiary’s estate, the life interest trust is jointly and severally liable to pay tax on its income attributed to the lifetime beneficiary’s estate, limits are placed on life interest trust’s use of charitable donation tax credits. Our presenters are both experienced practitioners: one in tax and one in estate planning, estate administration and the preparation of wills and trusts. Learn about these complex and significant changes to tax and estate planning, how to identify liability risks and how to employ practical strategies to limit liability. Take this webinar so you can trust your trusts.
