Drones over U.S. may pose security risks
OTTAWA, Dec. 15 (UPI) -- Canadian consumer and business bankruptcies fell a record 27.7 percent in October to 8,816, the federal regulator in Ottawa reported Tuesday.
The monthly decline from September levels coincided with a 15.4 percent increase in the number of credit protection proposals filed to 3,640, the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy Canada said in a release.
Despite the monthly decrease, the fallout from the recession was evident from year-over-year figures on insolvencies, which include proposals and bankruptcies.
"For the 12-month period ending Oct. 31, 2009, total insolvencies increased by 31.9 percent compared [with] the 12-month period ending Oct. 31, 2008," the agency said. "This is entirely due to an increase in consumer insolvencies."
