Describes and analyses the principal features of securities regulation in Canada, with emphasis on the provincial securities acts and the administrative agencies responsible for these acts. Deals with licences, continuous disclosure, insider trading, take-over bids, regulation of trade generally, and enforcement.

Canadian securities law comprises a unique mix of enduring basic principles and constantly-changing technical details. This new book provides a solid introduction to both; it looks at securities law topics--including definitions, the public and exempt markets for securities, insider trading, and continuous disclosure--and larger public policy issues.

The second edition of Securities Law in Canada covers recent amendments relating to exemptions, corporate governance, civil liability, and take-over bids. It also examines recent cases such as Kerr v. Danier (SCC), R v. Felderhof and the Rankin line of cases."--pub. desc.
