Yes you may file a proposal together with your spouse (or any other person) as long as “all or substantially all” of the debts are similar. This phrase is not defined in the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, but it is taken to mean 90% of the debts are the same. There is some wiggle room here – how much depends on the trustee that you are dealing with.
