Capital Markets Modernization Review
Webinar with Walied Soliman, Chair, Taskforce to Review Capital Markets, Government of Ontario; Chair, Norton Rose Fulbright
It has been over fifteen years since the Ontario government updated the province’s capital markets regulations. To ensure the Ontario economy keeps pace with rapid changes in global capital markets, the provincial government appointed a Taskforce to Review Capital Markets. The C.D. Howe Institute invites you to join us on April 29th to hear the Chair of the Taskforce, Walied Soliman, discuss the importance of having a regulatory system that fosters innovation, reduces regulatory burden, and builds a competitive economy.
C.D. Howe Institute events and webinars are open to members and their guests.
