Federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty and his counterparts in BC and Ontario agreed to establish a co-operative securities regulator to oversee Canada's investment industry. Flaherty said the Canadian economy was strongest when everyone acted together toward a common goal.

However, the court allowed Ottawa to seek a co-operative approach with the provinces.)
