9227-1584 Quebec Inc., and 9336-9262 Quebec Inc., two related companies that are developing Square Candiac, a complex and multifaceted mixed-used construction and development project on approximately 45 acres of land on the south shore of Montreal, Quebec, obtained protection under the CCAA on November 22. While some aspects of the project have been completed, the companies have no immediate liquidity and progress on the project has stalled. A shareholder dispute led to the appointment of KPMG as administrative agent and manager of the companies. Upon its appointment, KPMG determined that the companies were insolvent and required interim financing and a stay of proceedings to effect a restructuring or a continuation of the company's operations and made an application for creditor protection on the companies' behalf. KPMG is monitor and has been granted additional powers to manage the project. Counsel is Blakes for the monitor, Dentons for one of the project's co-owners, Langlois for the other co-owner, Jolicoeur Lacasse for BDC and BLG for Gerpro Construction.
