"The new Canada Not-for-profit Corporations Act (NFP Act) establishes a new set of rules for federally incorporated not-for-profit corporations in Canada. These new rules will replace part ii of the Canada Corporations Act (old act), the law that has governed federal corporations for nearly a century. The rules under the nfp act are modern, flexible and more suited to the needs of the not-for-profit sector."
