Regulation to amend Regulation 52-109 respecting Certification of Disclosure in Issuers' Annual and Interim Filings
The regulator amends Regulation 52-109 to update the definition of venture issuer by excluding CSE senior tier issuers and aligning French terminology. The amendment inserts a definition for CSE senior tier and replaces the French term inexactitude importante with anomalie significative in the definition of material weakness. These changes come into force on September 19, 2025, with a specific provision for Saskatchewan regarding the filing date with the Registrar of Regulations.
