Robin TaubGUEST
And more than half didn't know what information they needed.
Robin TaubGUEST
So as a public good, they wanted to create a resource and they came to me because I was creating financial content at the time for the Ontario Securities Commission.
Robin TaubGUEST
And they basically commissioned me to write this book.
Robin TaubGUEST
And I, you know, I had experience with my own kids who were teenagers when I wrote it.
Lisa KramerGUEST
I do think that regulators are also aware of the potential for gamification to do harm.
Lisa KramerGUEST
And so take the Ontario Securities Commission, for example.
Lisa KramerGUEST
They're actually actively running studies about gamification.
Lisa KramerGUEST
And they got the memo that gamification can be used for good outcomes, not just evil outcomes.
Claudio KlausHOST
Incredible.
Claudio KlausHOST
And Daniel, if I understood it right, you began your legal career at the Ontario Securities Commission.
Claudio KlausHOST
How did that influence you on the kind of lawyer you wanted to become?
Daniel WaldmanGUEST
Well, it was so during law school, I did a lot of work for a few professors, one in particular, who knew a lot about securities law was her specialty.
Daniel WaldmanGUEST
And she kind of steered me there.
Daniel WaldmanGUEST
I had an interest in litigation.
Daniel WaldmanGUEST
So if I was going to join the Ontario Securities Commission, it wasn't going to be just on the regulatory side.
Daniel WaldmanGUEST
So I joined there in the litigation team on the prosecution side.
Josh RosenGUEST
So I moved to Denton's partway through my article term after Heenan closed.
Josh RosenGUEST
And then I went on to come to the OIC, Ontario Securities Commission.
Josh RosenGUEST
It was probably one of the more unique articling terms you can imagine.
Josh RosenGUEST
Over 10 months, I worked at a national firm, an international firm, and a securities regulator.
Kevin PressHOST
He earned his chartered financial analyst designation in 2013.
Kevin PressHOST
He also serves as a member of the Ontario Securities Commission investor advisory panel.
Kevin PressHOST
Let's start at a high level.
Kevin PressHOST
What's the most important structural change, would you say, happening in the industry right now?
Christine Van GeynHOST
So okay, let me talk about my news headline, which is also about a case going to the Supreme Court that we're involved in, but it is not about the Emergencies Act.
Christine Van GeynHOST
It's a case called Binance and the Ontario Securities Commission, the OSC.
Christine Van GeynHOST
And basically, the case is about the scope of records that the government can de- demand access to.
Christine Van GeynHOST
Including highly personal records all without a warrant.
Christine Van GeynHOST
So the company i- involved here is called Binance.
Christine Van GeynHOST
It's an online crypto trading platform, and in 2023, the Ontario Securities Commission, the OSC, launched an investigation into the alleged violations of the Securities Act by Binance.
Christine Van GeynHOST
Binance was in trouble because they allegedly were allowing Ontario residents to trade crypto products without complying with Ontario securities laws, and then they made promises to stop this, and then allegedly failed to follow through on those promises.
Christine Van GeynHOST
So it had actually promised regulators it would stop serving Ontario customers, but then continued allowing them to trade.
Christine Van GeynHOST
Very exciting.
Christine Van GeynHOST
And if it does get leave, please consider making a tax-deductible charitable donation to our legal costs because this is a very... important but also financially demanding case so okay let me talk about my news headline which is also about a case going to the supreme court that we're involved in but it is not about the emergencies act it's a case called binance and the ontario securities commission the osc and basically the case is about the scope of records that the government can demand access to including highly personal records, all without a warrant.

Christine Van GeynHOST
Binance did not want to comply with this, obviously, and they challenged this summons as essentially unbounded and said that it violated Section 8 of the Charter, which prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures.
Darren HazelwoodGUEST
No.
Darren HazelwoodGUEST
No, the prospectus is in with the OSE, the Ontario Securities Commission, and they have a process to run.
Darren HazelwoodGUEST
All we can do is go via our legal team in Canada and...
Darren HazelwoodGUEST
And... see when the process concludes, if it indeed does.
DanHOST
There is a finding.
DanHOST
in the Ontario Securities Commission,
CarlosHOST
and
DanHOST
they're going to have to pay the piper, literally, at some point, probably by the end of the year.
Tyler MeredithHOST
She's now close to 60%.
Tyler MeredithHOST
So her chances of success on this market, again, people who are voting are not from Ontario, because the Ontario Securities Commission has actually banned Polymarket, uh, from the Ontario, uh, from the Ontario marketplace.
Tyler MeredithHOST
Um, but needless to say, her chances of success have gone up.
Tyler MeredithHOST
And I think we can all agree that while Lea has probably run a very good campaign, um, I don't think it would suggest that the, that the campaign a- at this stage is, is anywhere in a position where we could say that, uh, that she or anyone else has that degree of, of front-runner status.
