Specifically, the allegations are that:

1. During the material period between January 29, 2013 and October 29, 2014, Mr. Trudeau executed unauthorized trades in a client's accounts, contrary to IIROC Dealer Member Rule 29.1;
   
   
2. Subsidiarily, between January 29, 2013 and October 29, 2014, Mr. Trudeau engaged in discretionary trading in a client's accounts, without the accounts having been preapproved and accepted as "discretionary" accounts, contrary to IIROC Dealer Member Rules 1300.4 and 1300.5.

IIROC formally initiated the investigation into Mr. Trudeau's conduct in February 2015. The alleged violations occurred when Mr. Trudeau was a registered representative at the Montréal branch of Mackie Research Capital Corporation, an IIROC-regulated firm. Mr. Trudeau is no longer a registrant with an IIROC-regulated firm.
