TORONTO, Feb. 25, 2016 -- In the 2016 Ontario Budget, released today, Finance Minister Charles Sousa reaffirmed his commitment to review the regulatory framework relating to financial advisory and financial planning services.
"There are many viewpoints on this issue including which practitioners should be included in this review," says Advocis president and CEO Greg Pollock. "Advocis is encouraged that Minister Sousa continues to identify the need for a holistic review of the regulation of all financial advisors, inclusive of financial planners. We have a responsibility to protect those who trust and depend on us. Since anyone can call themselves a financial advisor, consumers are left vulnerable," says Pollock.
Advocis looks forward to the preliminary report from the Expert Committee to Consider Financial Advisory and Financial Planning Policy Alternatives, and is happy to provide feedback during the next round of consultation.
