Factors
Ownership
100.0 reportedCA 100%
Bouclair's own terms page names Alston Investments, based at its Pointe-Claire head office, as the site's owner and operator. Wikipedia reports Peter Goldberg bought Bouclair in a 2003 management buy-out and, through Alston Investments, took it through a 2019-2020 CCAA restructuring, remaining the controlling figure. Corporations Canada has no federal record for Alston Investments, consistent with a Quebec provincial incorporation; the Registraire des entreprises du Quebec could not be checked directly (bot-walled to fetches).

Manufacturing
28.0 inferredCA 10% · other 90%
Bouclair's ethical policy commits to supply-chain due diligence under Bill S-211 but does not name manufacturing countries. The Canada List records manufacturing as 'various' for the store overall and 'Asia' specifically for its lighting and furniture lines. No vendor statement or registry gives an exact split, so the mix is an estimate weighted toward overseas manufacturing with a small Canadian share for local cut-and-sew or finishing work.

Inputs

No page names fabric, wood, or component suppliers. Since finished manufacturing is largely overseas per the Canada List, materials are assumed to follow the same pattern, with a small Canadian share for locally cut or assembled window coverings and soft goods; this is an estimate, not a published figure.
