10 A WORD FROM OUR PARTNERS WeirFoulds has been a founding supporter of the PCMA from the start. In 2002, Morley Salmon the PCMA s Founding Chair, approached our Firm to get behind the idea of the first and truly national organization to represent the interests of Exempt Market Dealers (then Limited Market Dealers). We incorporated the PMCA as a not-for-profit corporation on a pro bono basis and have enthusiastically provided various levels of pro bono support to the organization since It was a natural evolution for WeirFoulds to provide hard dollar financial support as a Founding Sponsor, to enable the PCMA to continue to flourish under the capable Executive and Board leadership that are currently in place. The private capital markets are the largest and most dynamic source of capital in Canada, dwarfing all other sources of funding, including the public markets - it s where the action is. Private capital markets are constantly evolving, the most recent example being TSX s embrace through its Private Markets initiatives. The PCMA offers networking opportunities for EMD s, issuers and those organizations who support and advise them, professional and educational development, government and regulatory advocacy, industry affiliation to support professionalism to the marketplace, as well as deal origination and syndication opportunities. The benefits are significant, and for a relatively modest investment. We hope many more firms join us in supporting the important work of the PCMA and find their own way to benefit from the tremendous opportunities it can offer. WeirFoulds LLP A word from our partner, McLeod Law LLP. The PCMA is integral to the private markets industry, taking on the role as educator, connector and advocate for its members.
