OSC Staff Notice 11-742 (Revised) - Securities Advisory Committee

REVISED ONTARIO SECURITIES COMMISSION STAFF NOTICE 11-742

SECURITIES ADVISORY COMMITTEE

In a Notice published in the OSC Bulletin on October 20, 2016, the Commission invited applications for positions on the Securities Advisory Committee ("SAC"). SAC provides advice to the Commission and staff on a variety of matters including legislative and policy initiatives and important capital markets trends and brings various issues to the attention of the Commission and staff.

 

The Commission was very impressed with the number of highly qualified practitioners who applied for positions on SAC. Unfortunately, there were far more applicants than there were positions available and selection from among the group was very difficult. The Commission would like to thank everyone who applied for their interest in serving on SAC.

The Commission is pleased to publish the names of the three new members who will be participating on SAC for the next three years.

--	Jeff Meade	Royal Bank of Canada
--	Rhonda Goldberg	IGM Financial Inc
--	Ron Schwass	Wildeboer Dellelce LLP

The members of SAC have staggered terms. The continuing members of SAC are:

--	Blair Cowper-Smith	OMERS Administration Corporation
--	Sheldon Freeman	Goodmans LLP
--	Mindy Gilbert	Davies Ward Phillips & Vineberg LLP
--	Kathleen Ritchie	Gowling WLG
--	Thomas Yeo	Torys LLP
--	Ramandeep Grewal	Stikeman Elliott LLP
--	Eric Moncik	Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP
--	Thomas Fenton	Aird & Berlis LLP
--	Julie Shin	Toronto Stock Exchange

The Commission would like to take this opportunity to thank the three members of SAC, listed below, who completed their term in December 2016, having served on the Committee with great dedication over the last three years. Their advice and guidance on a range of issues has been very valuable to the Commission.

--	Judy Cotte	RBC Global Asset Management
--	Diana Wisner	Bank of Montreal
--	Ian Michael	Bennett Jones

The Commission will publish a notice in Fall 2017 inviting applications for the next group of new SAC members, who will commence their terms in January 2018.
