Letter Summary:

Although the Request for Comments set out a deadline of August 26, 2014 for submitting comments, pursuant to a conversation between Mr. Paul Roman of the OSC and Ms. Cecilia Wong, Chair of the CAC, the CAC obtained permission to submit comments by no later than September 5, 2014.

Overview of the Council’s Comments:

The CAC believes that Aequitas should adopt standards at least as strict as those of the TSX and TSXV regarding EM Issuers, and that until such time as those standards are settled, Aequitas should not be permitted to list EM Issuers.
