Regulation 13-102 Respecting System Fees

The Quebec securities regulator issued Regulation 13-102 to establish system fees for securities filings and annual registration renewals under the Securities Act. The regulation mandates that sponsoring firms and filers pay specified fees for documents such as prospectuses, annual information forms, and exemption reports, with payments processed through SEDAR+. It repeals the previous system fees regulation and includes transition provisions allowing payments via NRD until SEDAR+ requirements are fully implemented.
