Renvoi sur les valeurs mobilières: nouvelle publication

Le Renvoi relatif au projet de loi fédérale sur les valeurs mobilières a déjà suscité de nombreux commentaires et fait l'objet d'analyses publiées notamment dans le Canadian Business Law Journal de mars 2012.

Nous signalons une nouvelle publication qui vient enrichir les réflexions et qui aborde un grand nombre de facettes du Renvoi. Publié sous la direction de la Professeure Anita Anand de l'Université de Toronto, l'ouvrage intitulé What's Next for Canada? Securities Regulation after the Reference comporte des contributions de la part d'universitaires et de praticiens qui ont suivi de près ce débat. 

Voici le synopsis et la table des matières de l'ouvrage que l'on peut se procurer ici :

For many years lawyers, policy makers, scholars, and investors have debated the merits of, and the necessity for, a national securities regulator in Canada. Most have agreed that the status quo is unacceptable as a model of securities regulation. However, in December 2011 the Supreme Court of Canada, in the Reference Re Securities Act, held that a national securities act, as proposed by the federal government, would represent an intrusion by Parliament into provincial constitutional powers. The Court’s judgment raises the question of whether Canadian markets can continue to operate within the current, fragmented system, or whether the federal and provincial governments can work together to achieve a national model based on cooperation. This timely volume represents an effort by 17 leading academics and practitioners to contribute to the ensuing public policy debate. The book analyzes the Reference decision, examines its implications for both constitutional and administrative law in Canada, and raises important questions about the future of security regulation in Canada.

What’s Next For Canada? is essential reading for all those concerned with the future of Canadian security markets and the regulatory framework within which they operate, as well as those interested in the broader constitutional dimensions of this issue.
