Amendment to Policy Statement 12-202 Respecting Revocations of Certain Cease Trade Orders
The securities regulators amended Policy Statement 12-202 to replace references to the legacy SEDAR system with the new System for Electronic Data Analysis and Retrieval + (SEDAR+). The update mandates that documents required or permitted to be provided to regulators, except in Québec, must be transmitted electronically through SEDAR+. These changes align the policy with Regulation 13-103 to reflect the phased implementation of the new electronic filing system.

Orders is amended:
