Order approving amendments to various securities regulations
The Minister of Finance approved without amendment regulations drafted by the Autorité des marchés financiers to amend fourteen existing securities rules and one national policy. These amendments primarily update references to replace Aequitas NEO Exchange Inc. with Cboe Canada Inc. and the Canadian Securities Exchange, while also introducing new definitions for CSE senior tier issuers and IPO venture issuers. The changes affect areas including prospectus requirements, short form distributions, prospectus exemptions, escrow obligations, continuous disclosure, and corporate governance practices, with most provisions coming into force on September 19, 2025.
