Toronto, June 16, 2025 – The influential, Investment Industry Association of Canada (IIAC)/ Association Canadienne de Commerce des Valeurs Mobilières (ACCVM), now the Canadian Forum for Financial Markets (CFFiM)/Forum Canadien des Marchés Financiers (FCMFi), is a practical think tank that moves forward proposals to demonstrably grow healthy, competitive financial markets in Canada to mobilize savings and investment, unleash entrepreneurship and lift the standard of living for Canadians.
The name, the Canadian Forum for Financial Markets (CFFiM)/Forum Canadiens des Marchés Financiers (FCMFi), is the culmination of successful efforts to be a catalyst for change. It is a deepened, long-term commitment to keep doing the tough things to actually drive positive change for the greater good.
“We are discerning. We choose our circles wisely, partnering with those that broaden our intellectual capital,” said Laura Paglia, CFFiM President & CEO. “We are mindful of undue influence. We maintain confidentiality. We cultivate a culture of healthy accountabilities to achieve good reason and positive outcomes”, she added. “Adopting the term ‘forum’ better reflects our role as an essential convening space for constructive, evidence-based dialogue.”

- Stimulate capital raising,
- Reduce regulatory duplication and fragmentation,
- Advance a more competitive tax system,
- Strengthen retirement savings frameworks,
- Transform financial services delivery,
