Date 12/04/2024

 TMX Group Limited (TMX Group or the Company) today announced that its board of directors and Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) have approved the voluntary delisting of the Company's non-convertible Series D, E and F Debentures from TSX. In making the decision to delist, the Company considered, among other things, the fact that secondary market trading in Canadian non-convertible corporate bonds occurs predominantly via over-the-counter markets (OTC), and this decision allows our fixed income investors access to the deepest pool of liquidity. The total value of the Canadian corporate bond market is estimated at approximately $527 billion, according to the FTSE Canada Corporate Bond Index. Originally listed in July 2021, TMX Group's Series D, E and F Debentures have traded less than $20 million in aggregate on TSX, through the end of February 2024.

Comment On FinCEN’s AML/CFT Program And SAR Filing For Registered Investment Advisers And Exempt Reporting Advisers Proposal, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, April 12, 2024

Date 12/04/2024

Re: FINCEN–2024–0006 and RIN 1506–AB58; Anti-Money Laundering/Countering the   Financing of Terrorism Program and Suspicious Activity Report Filing Requirements for Registered Investment Advisers and Exempt Reporting Advisers.

Dear Director Gacki:

The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), the Treasury bureau responsible for administering the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), once more has proposed to subject certain investment advisers to a range of anti-money laundering/countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) regulations.[1]  Eight and a half years have gone by since FinCEN’s last proposal, so one would assume that the case for revisiting this initiative after so many years would be strong.  Because it is not, I submit this comment in opposition to this proposal.
