1450 ET - Canada mustn't lag the U.S. in dropping mandatory quarterly earnings reporting, the CEO of stock exchange operator TMX Group says. Canadian securities regulators are launching a pilot program that would allow certain smaller venture-listed companies to move to twice-year reporting, a shift TMX's John McKenzie wants to see extended to all listed companies in the country. President Trump has pushed for an end to the regulatory burden of quarterly reporting, and McKenzie in an interview says Canada could make the move even faster. Canada at least must change at the same time as the U.S. does, he says. More than 200 Canadian companies, including many of the countries biggest, are duel listed in Canada and the U.S., McKenzie notes. (robb.stewart@wsj.com)
