Trade Receivables [Text Block]	7. Trade Receivables On December 17, 2017, the Company filed a motion record in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (the “Court”) against the Business Development Bank of Canada and Astoria Organic Matters Ltd. and Astoria Organic Matters Canada LP (“Astoria”), together in the amount of $453,060 ($600,000 CAD), in connection with the Company’s purchase of certain assets from the court appointed receiver for Astoria, BDO Canada Limited. (“BDO”). The basis for the claim is for the Company’s costs to process biosolids stored onsite in an amount that was approximately ten times the amount permitted to be stored by conditions set in the Environmental Compliance Approval (the “ECA”) for the Company’s organic composting facility. The Court dismissed each of the Company’s motions, including on November 13, 2019, the Court dismissed the final motion and stayed the private prosecution. A further court date is set for November 4, 2019. As a result of this legal proceeding, BDO, through its legal representative, filed garnishment orders to collect on its outstanding fees, expenses and court costs, with three of the Company’s current customers. The garnishment orders, dated August 16, 2019, totaled $100,046 ($132,494 CAD) each. Since the garnishment orders were delivered to several customers, the payments of the Company’s accounts receivable to satisfy the garnishment orders, exceeded the amount of the garnishment orders. As at September 30, 2019, $114,284 ($151,350 CAD) had been collected , which represented an amount of $14,238 ($18,856 CAD) over and above the garnishment orders. The amounts collected as at September 30, 2019 have been applied against the outstanding accruals for legal fees, expenses and court costs, included in accrued liabilities, on this legal proceeding. Refer also to subsequent events, note 21(c), for details on garnishment orders issued subsequent to September 30, 2019.
