What is ‘Canadian Securities Administrators – CSA’
A collective forum composed of all the provincial and territorial securities regulators of Canada. The CSA’s main goal is to collaborate on the creation and harmonization of securities regulations across Canada. In addition to its regulation-related functions, the organization seeks to better educate the public on all aspects of the Canadian securities market.
