Ian, Thanks for the information. If I understand this, then a broker could abandon the suitability rule already without violating any law, regulation, or guideline from the IDA or securities commission. Are Canadian brokers vetting customer orders to protect themselves from liability? If so, there should be some legal precedent in Canada which doesn't exist in the US, where customer orders aren't checked for suitability. I'm not clear why Canadian brokers adhere to the suitability rule and US brokers don't. If it's not a law, regulation, or guideline, what is source of this policy? Regards, John
