Abstract: We prove that there is no faithful finite-dimensional representation by skew-hermitian matrices of a ``basic algebra of observables B on a noncompact symplectic manifold M. Consequently there exists no finite-dimensional quantization of any Lie subalgebra of the Poisson algebra C^infty(M) containing B.
