  8. on January 12, 2016, the Divisional Court issued supplementary reasons which enumerated the provisions of the Commission’s sanctions order that are remitted for a fresh determination (Loman v. Ontario Securities Commission, 2016 ONSC 135) and the parties advised the Commission that they had no further written or oral submissions to make;
  9. the Commission has concluded it is in the public interest to make this order;
