TORONTO, Feb. 16, 2018 /CNW/ - The following issues have been halted by IIROC:
Company: Canopy Growth Corp.
TSX Symbol: WEED (all issues)
Reason: Pending News
Where it says reason, if it were canopy that made the request, it would say:
Reason: At the Request of the Company Pending News
It doesnt say that. So IIROC has a survellance program that monitors other things and if they deem something to warrant a halt,
In some cases, stock exchanges and ATSs retain IIROC to monitor additional trading rules for their specific marketplaces. For instance, IIROC monitors Market-Specific Rules for the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX-V) relating to issuer disclosure requirements, opening and post-open trading, and requirements for direct market access, take-over bids and issuer bids.
IIROC probably noticed Health Canada updated their website for BC TWEED, and halted it.
