Part of that review and analysis that will assist the governments will come from the recent symposium on securities regulation, held March 8th in Toronto. More than 130 Canadian and international representatives from 7 Canadian governments, 7 industry associations, several listed companies, Canadian universities and think tanks took part in the symposium.
A white paper is being prepared for the Capital Markets Institute and the Canadian Foundation for Investor Education by noted securities lawyer James Baillie. The paper will capture the symposium's discussion and the positions of the groups attending the symposium. That paper will be distributed to government officials and regulators and will be available to the public when it is completed later this year.
