He made similar statements i<a href="https://www.thestar.com/podcasts/its-political/2022/11/18/is-canada-expanding-medical-assistance-in-dying-too-quickly.html">n an interview for a podcast with Althia Raj of the Toronto Star</a>.

It states that Ms. Zordel was denied reappointment to her earlier position (2019-2021) as part-time commissioner. In fact, given her busy legal practice, she took herself out of the running.

The Globe and Mail published a story on June 25 that relayed many pious and unflattering incantations related to Zordel’s allegedly questionable behaviour in her previous incarnation as a part-time commissioner at the OSC. Two former part-time commissioners who served with Zordel — Lorie Haber and Craig Hayman — were said to have resigned in protest of her appointment. Readers learned that five of eight part-time commissioners opposed the renewal of Zordel’s place among their ranks.</p><p>One of the bones of contention seems to be Zordel’s tendency to occasionally disagree with her fellow commissioners, taking a different view of what protecting investors entails. For example, her critics and the Globe thought it important to highlight that OSC records show Zordel was responsible for “two of only three dissents in OSC enforcement proceedings over the past decade.” </p></div></div></div><div class="easy_social_box clearfix vertical easy_social_lang_und"> <div class="easy_social-widget easy_social-widget-linkedin first"><script type="in/share" data-url="https://www.law.utoronto.ca/blog/faculty/conflict-osc-why-regulator-needs-make-room-dissent" data-counter=""></script></div> <div class="easy_social-widget easy_social-widget-facebook_share"> <div style="height: 19px;

This reality show pits Edward Rogers against his mother and two sisters (all of whom are directors of Rogers Communications) and the five “independent” directors on the Rogers board. There’s much more at stake, however, than tabloid-style prurient interest. Important issues of corporate governance loom large.</p><p>A key issue is whether Edward Rogers (who controls 97.5 per cent of the votes) had the power to unilaterally remove the five independent directors and replace them with his own nominees – both ostensibly effected by a written resolution signed only by him.</p><p>If Rogers was incorporated in any province other than British Columbia, the answer would be an unambiguous no. Under the federal template (the Canada Business Corporations Act), which has been adopted by most of the provinces and territories, removal of directors can only occur by a majority shareholder resolution passed at a shareholders meeting, or by a resolution in writing signed by all shareholders entitled to vote.</p></div></div></div><div class="easy_social_box clearfix vertical
