Reference re Securities Act: What are the Remaining Options for a National Securities Regime?

In Reference re Securities Act, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that the Federal government's proposed national security regulator was unconstitutional. Nevertheless, the Court did not conclusively rule out the possibility of a national securities regulator being constitutional under a different structure. The purpose of this case note is to examine what options remain available for the Federal government to create a national securities regulator. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Dans le Renvoi relatif à la Loi sur les valeurs mobilières, la Cour suprême du Canada a statué que le projet du gouvernement fédéral visant à créer un organisme canadien unique de réglementation des valeurs mobilières était inconstitutionnel. La Courn'a cependant pas définitivement exclu la possibilité qu'un organisme national de réglementation des valeurs mobilières soit constitutionnel selon une structure différente. Le but visé par ce commentaire d'arrêt est d'examiner quelles sont les options dont dispose encore le gouvernement fédéral pour pouvoir créer un organisme national de réglementation des valeurs mobilières.
