Undertaking of Applicant Regarding Conditions Imposed on New Licences
If a trustee licence is granted by the Superintendent of Bankruptcy, I accept that it be subject to the following conditions:
- that I will, for a period of twenty-four (24) months, practice with, and in the same physical location as, an active established trustee who is acceptable to the Superintendent.
- that if, at any time during those twenty-four (24) months, I do not meet the requirement set forth in paragraph (a), I will be authorized to act only in the following cases:
- consumer proposals;
- estates under the summary administration provisions of the Act;
- estates, known as ordinary administration estates, for which the unsecured liabilities, as per the Statement of Affairs, do not exceed $500,000 and for which the realizable assets as per the Statement of Affairs, after deducting the value of all security interests, do not exceed $15,000; and
- all other cases (notice of intention, Division I proposal, Interim Receiver, estates not covered by case (iii) above, etc.) , subject to the approval of the Division Assistant Superintendent (DAS) and on any terms that the DAS shall determine, considering my performance.
These conditions will not necessarily restrict me to any specific employer and any transfer or change of employment assuring similar or better circumstances would be acceptable. I will inform you in advance of any such change.
I also accept that these conditions may, upon written request, be reviewed after the period of twenty-four (24) months. They will thus either be removed, modified or maintained.
If other conditions are to apply, I will be so notified by the Superintendent, prior to the granting of the licence, for my approval.
Authorization
I understand that my application for a trustee licence is subject to an investigation, and that a verification by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) will be conducted with regard to criminal records, ongoing or completed investigations and arrest warrants, as well as with regard to my background. I hereby authorize and give consent to the RCMP or other police forces to release personal information and make full disclosure to the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy, as provided by the Privacy Act.
