The plan outlines IIROC's priorities and projects for the new fiscal year, including the implementation of IIROC's Client Relationship Model (which was republished for a 60-day comment period in January), the enhancement of compliance and enforcement efforts in the area of suitability issues, the finalization of a fair pricing rule for fixed-income and other over-the-counter securities, the introduction of new dealer and marketplace member fee models and the assessment of the scope of electronic and high frequency trading on equity marketplaces.
