No. Nasdaq Canada operates trading books (CXC, CX2, CXD) for TSX‑listed securities but does not list new securities. ([investmentexecutive.com](https://www.investmentexecutive.com/news/osc-approves-nasdaq-canada-to-operate-as-an-exchange/?utm_source=openai))
What does the Montreal Exchange specialize in?
The Montreal Exchange is Canada’s derivatives exchange, trading futures and options on equities, indices, currencies, ETFs, energy and interest rates. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreal_Exchange?utm_source=openai))
Is NGX a stock exchange?
No clear evidence supports NGX (Natural Gas Exchange) as a recognized Canadian stock exchange—it may refer to a commodity trading platform, not a formal securities exchange.
