Specifically, the allegations are that:
a) |
On or around June 19, 2003 and March 12, 2009, Mr. Turenne engaged in personal financial dealings with a client by borrowing money from her, without the knowledge and without the consent of the IIROC Dealer Member with whom he was employed, contrary to IIROC Dealer Member Rule 29.1 (formerly By-law 29.1 of the IDA); and |
b) |
On October 31, 2012 and December 13, 2012, Mr. Turenne made false statements to IIROC staff in the course of a prior disciplinary matter, thus hindering the evaluation of the complaint and the conduct of the investigation in the present matter, contrary to IIROC Dealer Member Rule 29.1. |
IIROC formally initiated the investigation into Mr. Turenne's conduct in September 2013. The alleged violations occurred when Mr. Turenne was a registered representative at the Trois-Rivières branch of Groupe Option Retraite inc., a former IIROC-regulated firm, and subsequently, a registered representative (retail) at the Trois‑Rivières branch of Desjardins Securities Inc., and finally, a registered representative (retail) at the Shawinigan-Sud branch of PEAK Securities Inc., these last two being IIROC-regulated firms. Mr. Turenne is no longer a registrant with an IIROC-regulated firm.
