Canadian securities regulators amended the Policy Statement to Regulation 54-101 to align communication requirements with the phased implementation of the System for Electronic Data Analysis and Retrieval + (SEDAR+). The amendments insert a new section mandating that documents required or permitted to be provided to regulators, except in Québec, must be transmitted electronically through SEDAR+. Additionally, existing references to the legacy SEDAR system were replaced with SEDAR+ throughout sections 5.1 and 5.4 of the Policy Statement.
