Sommaire. La Commission des valeurs mobilières du Québec se classe parmi les organismes de regulation les plus complexes. Elle est toutefois fort mal connue en raison de son champ d'activité specialise et de l'hégémonie de sa consoeur d'Ontario. Cet article se veut done une etude descriptive et détaillée de sa structure, de l'étendue de ses responsabilités statutaires et de ses modes d'opération, tant de nature interne que courante ou publique, le tout precede d'une note introductive sur la philosophic de son mandat. Il va sans dire que les activités de la Commission s'inscrivent dans un scheme de régulation du financement public des entreprises, du contrǒle des marches boursiers au Québec et de l'enregistrement des courtiers et agents de change faisant affaire dans la province. L'étude examine également la Commission en tant qu'organisme administratif. A cet effet les references statutaires, les décisions importantes de la Commission et certains commentaires se retrouvent tous en notes de référence à la fin de l'article. Abstract. The Quebec Securities Commission ranks amongst the more complex administrative agencies. It remains, however, relatively unknown by reason of its highly specialized area of concern and the long‐standing leadership of its Ontario counterpart. This article stands therefore as a descriptive and detailed study of its structure, the ambit of its statutory responsibilities and its operational modalities, internal as well as public, the whole superseded by an introductionary note on the philosophy of its legislative mandate. Obviously the Commission's activities are drawn within a regulatory scheme directed at the public financing of corporations, the supervision of Quebec's securities markets and the registration of brokers and investment dealers carrying on business in the province. The study and its considerations are nevertheless those of an administrative agency as such. Accordingly all statutory references, the Commission's most important decisions and certain comments thereon are to be found in the substantive notes at the end of the article.
