The Minister of Finance approved the Autorité des marchés financiers' amendments to Regulation 31-103 to update custody requirements for registered firms. The changes exempt firms from certain custodial rules when client cash or securities are held as margin with non-Canadian members of regulated clearing agencies that meet specific net worth and regulatory audit standards. These amendments came into force on June 12, 2019, with a delayed effective date for Saskatchewan if filed after that date.
