Introduction

The Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) and the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC) are publishing for comment in Chapter 6 of this Bulletin CSA/IIROC Consultation Paper 23-404 Dark Pools, Dark Orders, and Other Developments in Market Structure in Canada. The purpose of the consultation paper is to solicit feedback on several developments that have occurred in market structure in Canada specifically the emergence of dark pools, different order types, and smart order routers.

The comment period will end on December 29, 2009. Because of the importance of the issues raised in the paper the CSA and IIROC intend to convene a roundtable to discuss the issues and the submissions received. Parties that would like to participate in the roundtable are invited to indicate in their comment letter to Consultation Paper 23-404 that they wish to appear. The discussion will inform possible future work on process and substantive requirements by both the CSA and IIROC.
