IIROC is the national self-regulatory organization which oversees all investment dealers and trading activity on debt and equity marketplaces in Canada.

Both IIROC and the MFDA play crucial roles in regulating the investment industry to ensure investor protection and market integrity. The other options provided are not SROs. The Montreal Exchange is a derivatives exchange, TSX.V (TSX Venture Exchange) is a stock exchange for junior companies, Canadian Securities Exchange is another stock exchange, NEO Exchange is a stock exchange known for emerging companies, and CanDeal is a financial technology company specializing in electronic trading for the institutional market.
