REVIEW of PROPOSED MERGER of

TMX and LSE

Feb 22, 2011 McGuinty Government Announced all Party Committee to review the proposed transaction between the TMX and the LSE.

 Bloomberg News (April 19, 2011): The report “essentially says that if in fact the conditions that we’ve set out can be met, then we would support the proposed merger, but with very strong conditions,” Frank Klees, vice chairman of the committee, said in an interview in Toronto today.

The recommendations include a commitment that jobs remain in Canada after the sale and that the OSC’s role not be diminished. The committee also recommended that the TMX, owner of the Toronto Stock Exchange, should have the right to control the LSE.

“We now have a report that sends a strong signal that we will not and should not be compromising our regulatory sovereignty,” said Klees, a member of the opposition Progressive Conservative Party.
