OSC seeks input on statement of priorities

The OSC today published a draft 2013–2014 Statement of Priorities, which sets out the regulator’s strategic goals and specific initiatives in support of each goal for the next fiscal year.

The OSC is responsive to, and is seeking input from, its stakeholders on five key organizational goals including investor protection, enforcement, responsive regulation, promoting financial stability and operating as an efficient, accountable organization. This feedback will be considered by the Commission in finalizing the Statement of Priorities for the fiscal year commencing April 1, 2013.

The OSC must use its finite resources efficiently and is accountable for delivering regulatory services economically and effectively. As such, the Statement of Priorities is an important accountability document and an opportunity to seek input from stakeholders on the actions that the OSC will take in 2013–2104.

The comment period on the draft 2013–2014 Statement of Priorities runs until June 3, 2013 and the document is available on the OSC’s website.
