What matters is deterrence; and the fact you get a resolution a year or two earlier than you otherwise would is not useful to investors if the eff ect is to dilute deterrence. "When people don't have to make admissions of guilt it's harder to make them pay money to people they've injured. And even more importantly, if you don't have to make an admission, even if you've made serious wrongdoing, you can continue to function in the capital markets and occupy posi- tions of responsibility." John Campion, a litigator at Fasken Martineau DuMou- lin LLP, says if the securities commission is able to settle more proceedings with large dollars attached to them, then that is a deterrent in and of itself. "THE RELATIONSHIP WITH A REGULATOR IS LIKE A MARRIAGE. YOU MAY FIGHT WITH THEM, BUT YOU WAKE UP THE NEXT DAY AND THEY'RE STILL THERE. SO WHILE YOU MAY WANT TO GET INTO THE RING WITH THE REGULATOR, YOU DON'T WANT A FULL BOXING MATCH BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO REGULATE YOU AND KEEP REGULATING YOU." – Julie-Martine Loranger, McCarthy Tétrault LLP
