The amendment would add a new paragraph, (a.1), coming out of comments from the Canadian Bar Association.
The issue is that when you amalgamate a couple of corporations, you deal with the resulting amalgamated corporation as though it were new. The Canadian Bar Association pointed out what we didn't deal with--namely, if you have three corporations going into the amalgamation, and one of them is soliciting, what is the effect on the resulting amalgamated corporation? Is it also soliciting? Is it not soliciting? How does it work?
The new paragraph simply clarifies the situation and makes it clear that if you are soliciting going into the amalgamation, you are soliciting coming out the other side. You can't use an amalgamation to get out of the soliciting status and therefore be able to get at the money.
