Council for National Crowdfunding and Fintech Association NCFA Opening Statements Public Inquiry

Council for National Crowdfunding and Fintech Association NCFA Opening Statements at the Public Inquiry for the Invocation of the Emergencies Act.

"The use of extra-ordinary powers under the Emergencies Act raises questions of whether the ends justify the means”.  "In the case of crowdfunding and fintech, the end result is that laws were passed without public scrutiny or due process. This presents a cautionary tale for Canadians and we will all benefit from scrutiny by this Commission into whether it is appropriate to rely on these extra-ordinary powers when the end result may be the erosion of the Rule of Law."
