ASC staff established four advisory committees of industry representatives to act as sounding boards with respect to the development of new or amended securities regulation. They provide an extremely valuable service in helping to keep staff up to date on industry views and current business practices. As the market evolves, so do the terms of reference for these committees as we work to ensure their efforts best serve the Alberta capital market. The ASC would like to thank committee members for their contributions and valuable input over the past year.
