The Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada has confirmed that it has rescheduled the industry-wide test of dealers' business continuity plans, originally planned for June 2010, to September 10, 2011. The industry test, which was cancelled due to this summer's G20 meetings, will test the scenario of inaccessibility of downtown Toronto. While tests will be conducted voluntarily,
IIROC strongly urges all Dealer Members to participate in these tests as they represent a valuable opportunity for Dealer Members to supplement their respective mandatory annual tests which are required under IIROC regulation.
For more information, see IIROC Notice 10-0332.
