(23)In Ontario, the OSC conducts ongoing supervision of CCPs authorised as recognised clearing agencies through the use of periodic on-site inspections and regular communication with senior management of the clearing agency, regular assessment of risks and controls, as well as review of the information reported by the clearing agency and of compliance with the clearing agency's requirements relating to the management of risks, among others. However, exempted clearing agencies are subject to more limited supervision by the OSC. The OSC has broad powers to make any decision in respect of any by-law, rule and procedure of a recognised clearing agency and the manner in which a recognised clearing agency carries on its business, and to take any remedial or dissuasive actions against an authorised clearing agency, either recognised or exempted from recognition, where in the public interest or where a clearing agency has violated the Securities Act (Ontario). Such actions include the adoption of decisions or orders regarding the clearing agency, the imposition of terms, conditions, restrictions or requirements on the clearing agency, the suspension or revocation of the clearing agency's authorisation as well as conducting investigations which can result in the imposition of fines and penalties.
