MONTREAL _ A class-action lawsuit brought on behalf of investors against Valeant Pharmaceuticals Inc. will go to trial.
The Quebec Court of Appeal dismissed applications for leave to appeal from the defendants, who asked the court to review a Quebec Superior Court judge’s authorization of the suit.
The class action was brought on behalf of persons who acquired securities of Valeant (TSX:VRX) outside the United States between Feb. 28, 2013 and Oct. 26, 2015 who claim the price of shares purchased was artificially inflated by company misrepresentations.
According to these allegations, Valeant allegedly engaged in misconduct in its commercial activities and in the disclosure of financial information, particularly with respect to his relationship with mail order pharmacy Philidor Rx Services.
The lawsuit points out that Valeant identified significant weaknesses in its internal controls over financial information. As it corrected the errors by restating its results for fiscal years 2014 and 2015, the share price plummeted by as much as 80 per cent, wiping tens of billions of dollars from its market value…

Is an RRSP worth it if you’re retiring abroad?
 
Q: I am a permanent resident living in Canada. Is it worth me investing in an RRSP, when chances are I will be back in my home country in say 10 years?
What would be the penalty of withdrawing my RRSP on my return home?
—Tim
A: People who are living temporarily in Canada or Canadians who are planning to retire abroad often wonder if they should contribute to an Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP). Likewise, Canadian expats often end up on temporary work assignments in other countries and must navigate foreign retirement and tax planning.
In your case, Tim, while you are a Canadian resident, you must file a Canadian tax return. Canada taxes its residents on their worldwide income. To the extent that you have earned income like employment or business income, you will generate RRSP room. RRSP deductions can be deducted against other sources of income and are tax deductible on your tax return. RRSPs grow tax-deferred until you take withdrawals.
