“The changes were made to take us back to the status quo,” said Katharine
Tummon, director of corporations for the office of the provincial attorney
general.
“When we were apprised of (Rukavina's site) we immediately were looking
to ensure that our corporate registry maintains its integrity.”
She said the data was set up to be searched by company name only and
was never intended to be used the way Rukavina's website does.
She admits there's nothing in the current legislation to say that it shouldn't
be used this way.
This is because the Companies Act hasn't been updated since this kind of
technology became available, Tummon said.
“Other jurisdictions have modern provisions that are quite different from
ours that place limits on the information.”
