Summary

In Canada today, regulation of the distribution of securities and related products is largely under the jurisdiction of the provinces and territories, which have tailored their rules to regional needs.

It is undoubtedly desirable to streamline the regulatory framework in this field, but it will not do for this process to ignore or overlook the needs of small investors.
