Yesterday, the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA), Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC) and Mutual Fund Dealers Association (MFDA) announced the launch of an expanded Canadian Disciplined Persons List. The expanded list will now include the names of persons disciplined by IIROC and the MFDA, dating back to 2004, in addition to records of disciplinary actions by provincial securities regulators.
Noting that sanctions imposed by securities regulators are a matter of public record, the announcement states that the combined list will now allow the public to search for those disciplined by securities regulators or the SROs in one place, regardless of how serious the matter.
