On April 14, 2023, the OSC imposed a temporary cease trade order on the company’s 11 exchange-traded funds because the funds were unable to file audited financial statements after auditor BDO Canada LLP resigned.

Ms. Foubert wrote she did not accept Emerge Canada’s assertion that because the loan was a current asset in the last BDO-audited financial statements, Emerge Canada could continue to say it was. “I don’t find this reliance reasonable considering the material increases in the related-party receivable.”
