Canada’s securities regulators are considering several proposals that fundamentally transform dispute resolution for Canadian investors. These include:

• Binding authority for the Ombudsman for Banking Services and Investments (OBSI)
• ‘Modernizing’ the CIRO arbitration program.
• Distributing funds ordered disgorged to harmed investors.

The way investor disputes are resolved has real implications for both wealth business models and investors.

The panel explores:

• Real world impacts for wealth business and investors.
• Canada’s approach relative to other countries.
• Fairness principles.
• The role of regulators … and lawyers.

This session is valuable for those who service investors in Canada and for those who work to resolve their disputes.
