Securities & Regulation

Canada does not have federal securities regulation; this falls under provincial jurisdiction. However, the provinces are working together through the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) to coordinate and harmonize securities regulation throughout Canada.

The Alberta Securities Commission (ASC) is an industry-funded provincial corporation responsible for ensuring a fair and efficient capital market exists in Alberta. The ASC develops and enforces securities regulations, offers information and resources to Albertans about investing and administers Alberta's Securities Act and regulations.
