IIROC proposes guidance on locked and crossed markets
On March 26, the Investment Industry Organization of Canada (IIROC) published proposed guidance respecting “locked” and “crossed” markets. The proposed guidance would replace previous guidance that was recently repealed in light of amendments to National Instrument 23-101 Trading Rules. Specifically, IIROC’s proposed guidance would provide assistance in complying with the relevant provisions of NI 23-101 and its Companion Policy, as well as with the “best price” and “best execution” obligations under UMIR.
