– walletpop.ca
TORONTO — Home Capital Corp. says one of its independent directors with extensive regulatory experience will now chair its board of directors as the mortgage company suffers from a further outflow of money from its high-interest savings accounts and GICs.
The Toronto-based mortgage company says its new chair is Brenda Eprile, who joined the Home Capital board last year. She replaces Kevin Smith, who will remain on Home Capital’s board of directors.
Eprile was a senior member of the Ontario Securities Commission staff prior to beginning a 17-year career as a consultant focused on regulatory affairs.

Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne says she expects any provincial appointee or employee involved with troubled alternative mortgage lender Home Capital to step down if they have a conflict of interest.
Home Capital is a Toronto-based lender under investigation by the Ontario Securities Commission, which alleges that the company, two former CEOs and the current CFO broke the law in their handling of a scandal involving falsified loan applications.
Wynne was asked about Kevin Smith, who is the CEO of St. Joseph’s Health System in the Hamilton and the Niagara areas. Smith was also on the board of the Healthcare of Ontario Pension Plan (HOOPP) and chairman of the board of Home Capital, until recently.
On April 27, Home Capital announced HOOPP had agreed to provide the company a $2-billion loan and, at that time, Smith advised HOOPP he was stepping down from its board due to that potential conflict. He has since resigned as chair of Home Capital, but remains on the company’s board.
