Remarks by David Wilson, Chair, Ontario Securities Commission, at the Securities Superconference
Good morning. Before saying anything else, I want to say how pleased I am to be joined today by three of my colleagues from the Canadian Securities Administrators: Jean St-Gelais, the Chair of the CSA and President of the AMF in Quebec; Bill Rice, Chair of the Alberta Securities Commission and Doug Hyndman, Chair of the B.C. Securities Commission.
The OSC along with our CSA colleagues are working very closely towards our shared objective of coordinating and harmonizing the regulation of capital markets in this country. The CSA is doing great work on a number of regulatory fronts, such as the Registration Reform Project.
One of this conference’s co-chairs is Linda Hohol, President of the TSX Venture Exchange. Your exchange plays a vital role in providing a capital-raising gateway for growing dynamic new companies to drive Canada’s economic future.
Entrepreneurial success helps drive the development of our economy. Our economy needs people to take risks, it needs new ideas and it needs people who have optimism. Our economy also needs people to have trust in the integrity and fairness of our capital markets.
