Draft Amendment to Policy Statement 81-107 respecting Independent Review Committee for Investment Funds

Canadian securities regulators amended Policy Statement 81-107 to align with the phased implementation of the Renewed System for electronic document transmission. The changes require that documents filed with regulators outside Quebec be submitted electronically through the Renewed System as prescribed by Regulation 13-103. Additionally, the amendment replaces references to the SEDAR group profile number with the Renewed System profile number across multiple sections of the policy.

The reference to a document includes any report, form, application, information, material and notice, as well as a copy thereof, and applies to documents that are required or permitted to be filed or deposited with, or delivered, furnished, sent, provided, submitted or otherwise transmitted to, a regulator, except in Québec, or securities regulatory authority. To reflect the phased implementation of the [Renewed System], the Appendix of Regulation 13-103 respecting System Replacement sets out securities legislation under which documents are excluded from being filed or delivered in the [Renewed System].
