About Us
Go Public in Canada is a CNQ - Canada's New Stock Exchange - initiative for companies looking for business financing, investment capital, expansion capital, venture capital or who are looking to take their company public in Canada.
CNQ is an innovative new stock exchange for trading the equity securities of emerging companies. It was recognized by the Ontario Securities Commission as a stock exchange in May 2004, the first New Canadian Stock Exchange in over 70 years. CNQ's unique market model matches enhanced disclosure and streamlined issuer regulation with leading edge technology and comprehensive regulatory oversight to meet the needs and characteristics of emerging companies, their investors and investment dealers. In 2006 the exchange obtained approval to launch Pure Trading, which provides a better, faster and more cost efficient alternative for the trading of Canadian equity securities.
Pure Trading is the first alternative market in Canada to offer a visible auction market, offering a high capacity/low latency trading environment, combined with an extremely attractive fee structure. Pure Trading enables the Canadian trading community to use emerging trading technologies to their full advantage, while delivering cost savings that enhance the competitiveness of the Canadian markets.
