TORONTO, May 30 /CNW/ - TD Securities announced it will be a market maker
for the new Canadian Carbon Future contract introduced today on the Montreal
Climate Exchange, a joint venture of the Montreal Exchange and the Chicago
Climate Exchange. By providing market liquidity, TD Securities will aid a wide
cross-section of industry participants in meeting greenhouse gas emission
reduction targets. TD is the only Canadian market maker involved in this
historic initiative.
    "TD Securities is very pleased to extend its relationship with the
Montreal Climate Exchange through participation in the emerging GHG emissions
market" said Bimal Morjaria, Vice Chair and Global Head, Equity and Energy
Derivatives, TD Securities. "We're committed to our role as the market leader
in the exchange traded derivatives market in Canada."
    The first regulated environmental market future in Canada, the Carbon
Future contract will provide a pricing mechanism for carbon emissions in
Canada. Initially there will be four futures listed with expiries ranging from
June 2011 to March 2012. The future is based on 100 Canada carbon dioxide
equivalent (CO(2)e) units.
    "Our partnership with the Montreal Climate Exchange is one component of
our overall environmental strategy," added Mike Pedersen, Group Head Corporate
Operations, TD Bank Financial Group. "To reduce our own emissions we're
working hard to ensure our Canadian operations are carbon neutral in 2010, and
TD is the first major bank in Canada to adopt this goal. We're also committed
to the environment at the local level through our TD Friends of the
Environment Foundation, which has given $45 million to fund 17,000 grassroots
environment projects since its inception 18 years ago."
