PDAC responds to a public consultation on Activist Short Selling

In response to a public consultation on activist short selling, PDAC has identified several issues for further investigation and provided regulatory and enforcement-related recommendations to CSA that aim to level the playing field for all market participants. A key concern is potential market imbalances that could manifest due to limitations of issuers, particularly small and medium-sized companies, to rebut data or information provided to the public by activist short-sellers.
