TMX Group Ltd. is seeking guidance from Canadian securities regulators as it weighs how to deal with marijuana companies listed in Canada with interests in the United States where the business remains federally illegal.
“This is a complex matter which touches multiple aspects across our capital market system, and as such requires close examination and careful consideration,” Toronto-based TMX Group said in a release Thursday. “We are working with regulators to arrive at a solution that will clarify this matter for issuers, investors, participants and the public.”
The move seeks to draw a line under policy uncertainty for investors and companies that pits more liberal rules around cannabis cultivation and distribution in Canada against a Trump administration that has taken a harder line.
