OSC Staff Notice: 11-742 (Revised) - Securities Advisory Committee

REVISED ONTARIO SECURITIES COMMISSION STAFF NOTICE 11-742

SECURITIES ADVISORY COMMITTEE

In a Notice published in the OSC Bulletin on November 11, 2011, the Commission invited applications for positions on the Securities Advisory Committee ("SAC"). SAC provides advice to the Commission and staff on a variety of matters including legislative and policy initiatives and important capital markets trends and brings various issues to the attention of the Commission and staff.

The Commission was very impressed with the number of highly qualified practitioners who applied for positions on SAC. Unfortunately, there were far more applicants than there were positions available and selection from among the group was very difficult. The Commission would like to thank everyone who applied, for their interest in serving on SAC.

The Commission is pleased to publish the names of the three new members who will be participating on SAC for the next three years.

-- Brad Brasser	Jones Day, USA
-- Chris Hewat	Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP
-- Leslie McCallum	Torys LLP

The members of SAC have staggered terms. The continuing members of SAC are:

-- Robert Black	Davis LLP
-- C. Steven Cohen	Burnet, Duckworth & Palmer LLP
-- Jeff Davis	Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan
-- Peter Hong	Davies Ward Phillips & Vineberg LLP
-- Grant McGlaughlin	Goodmans LLP
-- James McVicar	Heenan Blaikie LLP
-- Tina Woodside	Gowling Lafleur Henderson LLP
-- Robert Wortzman	Wildeboer Dellelce LLP
-- Heather Zordel	Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP

The Commission would like to take this opportunity to thank the four members of SAC, listed below, who completed their term in January 2012, having served on the Committee with great dedication over the last two years. Their advice and guidance on a range of issues has been very valuable to the Commission.

-- Georges Dubé	Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP
-- Glen Johnson	Torys LLP
-- Tracey Kernahan	Norton Rose OR LLP
-- Rob Lando	Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP

The Commission will publish a notice in Fall 2012 inviting applications for the next group of new SAC members, who will commence their terms in January 2013.
