The New Brunswick Securities Commission (NBSC) is the Crown Corporation established by the Province of New Brunswick in 2004 to regulate the securities industry and ensure the efficiency and integrity of capital markets in New Brunswick. Our mandate is to protect investors from unfair, improper or fraudulent practices, and to foster fair and efficient capital markets and confidence in capital markets.

We develop and enforce securities regulation, and offer impartial educational information and resources to New Brunswick residents about the investing process.

The NBSC recognizes the importance of setting an example in the areas of transparency and effective governance. The Governance Policy includes details of efforts to ensure good governance and accountability.

The NBSC is run by Members and operational staff. Members act as the board of directors who set policy and recommend changes to the Securities Act, and act as a quasi-judicial tribunal. The Chair, a full-time Member, acts as the Chief Executive Officer and is responsible for the overall operation of the organization.

Members:

David G. Barry, Q.C., of Saint John, Chair and Chief Executive Officer
Anne W. La Forest, of Fredericton
Sheldon Lee, of Bonny River
Kenneth Savage, of Fredericton
Céline Trifts, of Bass River
Harry H. Williamson, Q.C., of Bathurst

Supplementary Members assist Members by serving on adjudicative panels which conduct hearings and make decisions as an administrative tribunal required under the Securities Act. The Supplementary Members do not have a role as members of the board of directors or as policy and rule makers. The supplementary function relates solely to assisting the Commission in meeting its obligation as an administrative tribunal.

Supplementary Members:

Guy G. Couturier, Q.C., of Dieppe
