OSC seeks applications for the Registrant Advisory Committee

TORONTO – The Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) is inviting applications for membership on its Registrant Advisory Committee (RAC or the Committee).

In recognizing the importance of consulting with our stakeholders, the OSC’s 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.

The Committee also plays a consultative role by providing feedback to the OSC on the development and implementation of policy and rule making initiatives that promote investor protection, fair and efficient capital markets and confidence in those markets. The OSC welcomes having diverse perspectives represented on all OSC advisory committees.

Established in 2012, the RAC meets approximately four times a year, in addition to ad hoc meetings as required. The Committee consists of up to 15 members representing the different registration categories and business models overseen by the OSC. Membership terms for the RAC are for twenty-four months, after which membership may be reconstituted. The RAC is currently chaired by Matthew Onyeaju, Senior Vice President, Registration, Inspections and Examinations Division.

All interested parties, including representatives with industry experience and expertise in regulatory compliance, are invited to submit applications for membership on the RAC in writing, indicating their relevant experience by November 8, 2024.
