On June 27, 2019, the Alberta Securities Commission (ASC) published ASC Consultation Paper 11-701, Energizing Alberta’s Capital Market. This consultation is seeking input on steps the ASC can take to foster a vibrant public and private capital market in Alberta while protecting investors.
The Consultation Paper summarizes research and input from preliminary consultations held to date, which were undertaken to help the ASC better understand the changes occurring in the Alberta capital market and the challenges being faced. It also includes a number of preliminary ideas designed to elicit feedback from market participants on enhancements that can be made and red tape that can be reduced. Comments and feedback should be submitted by September 20, 2019.
