Regulation to amend Regulation 51-102 respecting Continuous Disclosure Obligations

The regulator amends Regulation 51-102 respecting Continuous Disclosure Obligations to update references from the legacy SEDAR system to the new SEDAR+ platform. The changes replace mentions of "www.sedar.com" and "SEDAR" with "www.sedarplus.com" and "SEDAR+" across various sections and forms, while also modernizing terminology by substituting "electronic format" with "electronically." These amendments come into force on June 9, 2023, with a specific provision for Saskatchewan regarding the filing date with the Registrar of Regulations.
