The Investment Dealers Association has  imposed  disciplinary fines and a suspension on Bruce Calvin Deck of Prince George.

The action  is  in the wake of  Deck's admission to actions that were contrary to  investment  bylaws.

Specifically,   Deck admitted that  while an Approved Person with the Prince George office of TD Waterhouse Canada Inc. (TD), a Member of the IDA, he had contravened the by-laws  through the following:

•  Between January 2000 and October 2003, effected the participation in off-book transactions on behalf of TDBI and TDBJV, two investment clubs;
•  Between March 2003 and October 2003, engaged in personal financial dealings with clients in that he invested either directly or indirectly, with his clients in TDBI and TDBJV, without the knowledge, consent or authorization of TD;
•  Between April 2003 and April 2004 engaged in poor business practices by causing a bank draft to be issued from a client’s TD account without that client’s consent and subsequently withholding that bank draft from the client;
• On February 24, 2003, engaged in personal financial dealings with a client in that he loaned that client monies without the knowledge, consent or authorization of TD; and
• Between November 1997 and March 2004, failed to fully disclose to TD about his involvement with TDBI and his involvement as a director, President and Secretary for another company, Canadian Wealth Management Corporation (CWMC).
