Beneficial ownership (BO) due diligence for government licenses in Canada is most common in higher risk sectors
This report finds mixed results when examining to what extent governments can determine the beneficial owners of companies from which they are procuring goods or services, or to which they are supplying licenses and permits. For instance, firms operating in the higher risk cannabis sector often must disclose names, birthdates, and residence information for criminal records checks, but for business licensing only 15 percent of provincial and territorial governments require the full name of the beneficial owner.
