Hearing to determine measure to be taken against TIP Investment Advisors Ltd. & Paul Gagné is postponed
Decisions and Freeze and cease trade orders Securities
Montréal – On February 16, 2004, the Bureau de décision et de révision en valeurs mobilières (BDRVM) agreed to postpone, until March 2 and 3, 2004, the hearing to determine the measure to be taken against TIP Investment Advisors Ltd. (TIP Advisors) and Paul Gagné.
This postponement was granted at the request of the attorney for TIP Advisors and Paul Gagné. This hearing follows a decision issued on January 30, 2004 by the Commission des valeurs mobilières du Québec (the "Commission", now part of the Autorité des marchés financiers) that concluded that TIP Advisors and Paul Gagné had neither the skills nor the probity required by the Québec Securities Act (the "Act") to ensure the protection of investors.
The BDRVM also renewed, for a 90-day period beginning February 16, 2004, the initial freeze order issued against TIP Funds on October 1, 2002 by the Commission. This order had been renewed for a fifth time on June 3, 2003.
