Amendments to Notice 47-201 Relating to Trading Securities Using the Internet and Other Electronic Means
The regulator issued amendments to Notice 47-201, renaming it as Policy Statement 47-201 Respecting Trading Securities Using the Internet and Other Electronic Means. The document updates terminology throughout the text by replacing references to the notice with policy statement. It also introduces a new section mandating electronic transmission of documents to regulators via the Renewed System in accordance with Regulation 13-103 respecting System Replacement.

AMENDMENTS TO NOTICE 47-201 RELATING TO TRADING SECURITIES USING
THE INTERNET AND OTHER ELECTRONIC MEANS
- The title of Notice 47-201 Relating to Trading Securities Using the Internet and Other
Electronic Means is replaced with the following:
“POLICY STATEMENT 47-201 RESPECTING TRADING SECURITIES USING
THE INTERNET AND OTHER ELECTRONIC MEANS”.
- Section 1.1 of the Notice is amended by replacing the words “the Notice 47-201 Related

the words “this Policy Statement”.
- The Notice is amended by inserting, after section 1.3, the following:
“1.4 Electronic Transmission
Regulation 13-103 respecting System Replacement (insert reference) prescribes
that each document that is required or permitted to be provided to a regulator, except in
Québec, or securities regulatory authority must be transmitted to the regulator, except in
Québec, or securities regulatory authority electronically through the [Renewed System].
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].
Reference to Regulation 13-103 respecting System Replacement should be made
when providing any document to a regulator, except in Québec, or securities regulatory
authority under this Policy Statement.”.
