The Canadian Department of Finance announced yesterday that Yukon has now joined the Cooperative Capital Markets Regulatory System. The project now includes British Columbia, Ontario, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island, Yukon and the federal government.
The Department of Finance also announced the members of the nominating committee that will recommend candidates for the initial board of directors to the Capital Markets Regulatory Authority. Participating jurisdictions also intend to release updated consultation draft federal, provincial and territorial capital markets legislation and draft initial regulations this summer.
