Initially our intention is to articulate protections around safeguarding end-user funds and operational risk management. Market conduct would be addressed at a later point in time.
I can assure you that we have undertaken significant consultations with all of the provinces and territories, but in particular with Quebec, which recognizes that this is an area of complementary powers and authority and objectives. We have addressed a number of concerns that the Quebec government raised in the consultations to ensure that we are respecting its perspective and jurisdiction in this area.
Notably, we have excluded provincially regulated institutions from the scope of this framework. In addition, we have included a recognition mechanism whereby, should any province or territory develop an approach that is significantly similar to the protections that would be provided under the RPAA, those would be recognized and addressed outside of the framework if necessary.
We feel that we've balanced the shared jurisdiction in this area.
