Posted on September 30, 2009

The Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) and the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC) today announced the publication of Joint Consultation Paper 23-404, entitled "Dark Pools, Dark Orders, and Other Developments in Market Structure in Canada". The paper discusses the evolution of the Canadian market and specifically considers the emergence of multiple marketplaces. The lack of transparency associated with some alternative trading systems is noted and specific questions are raised regarding dark pools, dark orders, market pegged orders and smart order routers.

Written submissions on the issues set out in the consultation paper are being accepted until December 29, 2009. The CSA and IIROC also stated that they intend to convene a roundtable to discuss the issues and the submissions received.
