WPC - Committee to Review the Structure
of Securities Regulation in Canada
Research Studies
Foreword
The debate regarding securities regulatory structure in Canada typically has not been informed by robust empirical analysis and has suffered from a lack of current data on its central issues.
Therefore I was pleased to be appointed on behalf of the Capital Markets Institute as the Research Director for the WPC Committee to Review the Structure of Securities Regulation in Canada, to implement the Committee's research program. I believe that the debate on Canada's securities regulatory structure will be enhanced by the research studies published with the Report of the Committee. They represent comprehensive and rigorous new work by respected independent academics and consulting firms from Canada, the United States, Australia and the European Union. In addition to their consideration of numerous public submissions and extensive public consultations, the Committee's Report reflects its members' careful consideration of the researchers' analysis and conclusions.
This research could not have been completed in a remarkably compressed timeframe without the Committee's support of its research program. More obviously, these studies could not have been produced without the dedication and sacrifice of the researchers. Each of them undertook their work with enthusiasm and diligence in spite of conflicting personal and professional demands. The body of research is a testament to their individual commitment to advancing our collective knowledge relating to Canadian capital markets.
