Navigating Rules, Risks, and Financing Trends | The CSE Podcast E20-S4

September 05, 2025 • CSE - Canadian Securities Exchange • Season 4 • Episode 20

🎙️ On the Canadian Securities Exchange podcast, Anna Serin kicks off a new quarterly series with Garrett Lee, Partner at Lawson Lundell LLP, to break down the latest shifts in Canada’s venture and public markets.

Garrett shares insights on emerging financing trends like the rise of venture private debt, the potential for Bitcoin-backed loans, and why recent changes to the LIFE exemption are creating new opportunities for issuers to raise capital more efficiently. The conversation also covers evolving regulatory frameworks—from tougher penalties on greenwashing under Canada’s Competition Act to new CSE hold period rules, IR disclosure requirements, and the CSA’s increasing M&A scrutiny.

💬 “With the venture space, markets can swing quickly—issuers need tools like the LIFE exemption to move fast and take advantage of financing opportunities when they arise.” — Garrett Lee

This episode is essential listening for issuers, investors, and advisors navigating Canada’s dynamic capital markets in 2025.
