To those who appreciate its distinguished history as the world's reserve currency, it is an investment option that is both reassuring and dependable, especially during volatile times. To those who question its legitimacy as a valued and practical resource, it is just a yellow rock that serves very little purpose in today’s modern world, where it is not even used to manufacture currency any longer. In this day and age, should gold continue to retain its value as a precious metal or is it time to set tradition aside and look elsewhere?

Canada needs a national securities regulator.
When it comes to the federal government’s proposed plan for a national securities regulator, Canada is a deeply divided nation. B.C., Saskatchewan, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Quebec and Alberta have banded together to fight the proposed initiative believing the power should rest with each province not a centralized authority. Ontario continues to be the leading supporter of the plan criticizing the current system as inefficient. As we await the Supreme Court of Canada’s decision on the matter, Advisor.ca has asked two outspoken proponents to share their thoughts in our first ever Point of View debate. What do you think?
