Administrative tribunal hearing decisions and CSA member decisions are public records. As the government agencies responsible for protecting investors and the integrity of the securities markets, CSA members consider it important to make this type of information readily available. This is why we give the names of individuals and/or companies who have been subject to sanctions, no matter how serious and whether or not the sanctions have expired.
As a result of the implementation of statutory amendments in all jurisdiction except for Nunavut, certain orders made in other provinces or territories automatically take effect in all jurisdiction except for Nunavut. For more information contact your local securities regulator.
*Canada’s provincial and territorial securities regulators have recognized the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization (CIRO) effective January 1, 2023. CIRO consolidates the functions of the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC) and the Mutual Fund Dealers Association of Canada (MFDA). Prior to January 1, 2023, IIROC was the national self-regulatory organization that oversees all investment dealers and trading activity on debt and equity marketplaces in Canada. Prior to January 1, 2023, the MFDA was the self-regulatory organization for Canadian mutual fund dealers.
