The Canadian Securities Administrators formally withdraw a list of outdated or no longer relevant staff notices effective immediately. The withdrawn documents, which cover topics such as proxy advisory firms, electronic audit trails, and registration exemptions, remain available on CSA member websites for historical research purposes. This action reflects a review by CSA staff to remove materials that are no longer required in applicable jurisdictions.
