| Shareholders' equity | Shareholders’ equity The authorized and issued share capital of the Company are as follows: Authorized The authorized share capital of the Company consists of an unlimited number of subordinate voting shares without par value, an unlimited number of multiple voting shares without par value, and an unlimited number of preferred shares without par value, issuable in series. Issued Multiple voting shares - Holders of the multiple voting shares are entitled to 10 votes per multiple voting share.
