OSC seeks members for registrant advisory committee

The Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) is seeking applicants for membership on its registrant advisory committee (RAC).

The RAC serves as a forum to discuss issues and challenges faced by registrants in interpreting and complying with Ontario securities law, including registration and compliance-related matters.

It also plays a consultative role by providing feedback to the OSC on the development and implementation of policy and rule-making initiatives.

Established in 2012, the RAC meets about four times a year, in addition to ad hoc meetings as required. The committee consists of 10 to 12 members representing the different registration categories and business models overseen by the OSC.

Membership terms last 24 months, after which membership may be reconstituted.

The RAC is chaired by Debra Foubert, director, compliance and registrant regulation.

Applications will be accepted until Oct. 26.

More details can be found on the OSC website.
