TORONTO, Nov. 7, 2014 /CNW/ - The Mutual Fund Dealers Association of Canada ("MFDA") announced today that it has withdrawn an Application pursuant to section 24.3 of MFDA By-law No. 1 in respect of Gilles Robert Latour (the "Respondent").
MFDA Staff had been seeking an interim order from a Hearing Panel of the MFDA's Central Regional Council granting certain relief, including immediately suspending the Respondent from engaging in securities related business in any capacity as an Approved Person, until further order of a Hearing Panel. As the Respondent is no longer registered in the securities industry in any capacity, MFDA Staff are no longer seeking an interim order suspending the Respondent from engaging in securities related business as an Approved Person of the MFDA.
The hearing of the Application had been scheduled to resume on November 11, 2014, at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern), in the MFDA hearing room located at 121 King Street West, Suite 1000, Toronto, Ontario. This appearance has now been cancelled.
A copy of the Notice of Application is available on the MFDA website at www.mfda.ca. During the period described in the Notice of Application, the Respondent carried on business in Cornwall, Ontario.
