# Corporate Governance in Canada. Corporate governance practices in Canada are shaped by legal rules and best practices promoted by institutional shareholder groups, the media and professional director associations such as the Institute of Corporate Directors. Canadian corporate governance has also been influenced by the high proportion of public corporations in Canada that have a dominant or controlling shareholder, either through equity ownership or the ownership of multiple voting rights. Canadian institutional investors have a profound influence on Canadian corporate governance practices, including through a national institutional investor organisation formed to promote good governance practices in corporations whose shares its members own. This organisation, the Canadian Coalition for Good Governance, comprises approximately 50 members, including many of Canada's largest institutional investors, collectively managing almost C$4 trillion in assets, and has pursued an organised programme of articulating its views and encouraging best practices generally without resorting to proxy battles. More detailed information regarding corporate governance rules applicable to listed companies in Canada is available at. Guidelines for Improved Corporate Governance in Canada (The Toronto Report).
