The Capital Markets Tribunal is established by the Securities Commission Act, 2021  as an independent division of the Ontario Securities Commission.  It conducts hearings under the Ontario Securities Act  and the Commodity Futures Act  and determines all questions of fact or law in any proceeding before it under those Acts.

The Capital Markets Tribunal's vision is to:

1. be a trusted, innovative and expert tribunal;
2. conduct proceedings justly, expeditiously, transparently and cost-effectively; and
3. deliver timely, clear and well-reasoned decisions.
