FOCUS ON THE CAPITAL MARKETS
We are committed to maintaining an effective and efficient regulatory framework that supports the development of internationally competitive Canadian capital markets. Over the next three years, we will focus on critical priorities designed to support a framework which is responsive to the capital raising needs of Canadian companies — small, medium and large.

FOCUS ON INVESTORS
Investor protection enhances investor confidence in the markets and is pivotal to market integrity and long-term resilience. Over the next three years, we will intensify efforts to detect, disrupt, and deter online investment fraud, which continues to cause personal financial harm and erode trust in Canada’s capital markets.

FOCUS ON INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY
Innovation and technology continue to reshape how capital markets operate. Regulatory approaches need to reflect the business realities of market participants. Over the next three years, the CSA will focus on ensuring our regulatory framework keeps pace with these changes so that businesses can take advantage of new tools and technologies to grow, compete, and operate more efficiently.

FOCUS ON SYSTEMIC RISK
Maintaining the stability and integrity of Canada’s capital markets is a core responsibility of the CSA. Over the next three years, we will continue to strengthen our ability to identify, assess, and respond to systemic risks that could impact financial markets or the broader economy, including through our coordinated activities with other Canadian financial sector regulators.
