OSC invites applications from experienced leaders to join its new Capital Markets Advisory Committee

TORONTO, April 8, 2026 /CNW/ - The Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) is inviting applications from senior leaders to join its new Capital Markets Advisory Committee (CMAC). CMAC will be a senior‑level, industry‑wide forum established on a pilot basis to provide strategic insight and perspectives on trends and developments affecting Ontario's capital markets, while serving as an integrated forum for advisory input previously provided through multiple committees.

CMAC will play an important role in supporting the OSC's Strategic Plan by providing expert insight on regulatory operations, emerging market trends, and innovation opportunities. The committee will:  

• Provide expert input on proposed rules, guidance, and regulatory initiatives to promote effective and proportionate regulation. 
• Advise on strategic priorities to ensure alignment with market realities and supporting strong investor outcomes. 
• Share insights on global and domestic trends, risks, and opportunities for innovation to inform policy and strategy. 

"The Capital Markets Advisory Committee will strengthen the links between the OSC and leading experts by connecting our regulatory functions, and providing insights and advice to help support the important work the OSC delivers on behalf of Ontario's market participants and investors," said Grant Vingoe, Chief Executive Officer, OSC. "As global capital markets evolve in response to the external environment, we look forward to working with industry leaders to position Ontario as a destination for innovation, competitiveness, and strong investor protection."

Application Process 

The OSC welcomes applications from senior leaders across Ontario's capital markets, including marketplace representatives and dealers, reporting issuers, institutional investors, technology innovators, academics and other market participants.  Diversification of membership on CMAC will be a priority to promote representation from a wide range of market segments, business models, and perspectives. Interested parties should submit their resume indicating their areas of practice and relevant experience by April 30, 2026.

Additional information about CMAC, including its mandate and details on the selection process can be found in the terms of reference. Applicants will be informed accordingly by late May, and the composition of the new Advisory Committee will be made public on the OSC's website.  

Applications should be submitted by email to [email protected].
