The Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada has suspended the membership of First Leaside Securities Inc. following an expedited hearing held Friday in Toronto.
The hearing was called after the Uxbridge, Ont.-based investment firm was granted bankruptcy protection.
The IIROC hearing panel ordered that First Leaside immediately cease dealing with the public, and begin the orderly process of transferring client accounts to other IIROC firms.
