The securities regulators amended Policy Statement 11-201 to modernize electronic document delivery requirements. Section 3.1 now recommends recreating documents in native digital format rather than scanning them, ensuring cost-efficient transmission, storage, and retrieval. Section 3.3 is concurrently updated by striking out paragraph (5) and deleting the explicit reference to SEDAR in paragraph (6).

    (2) by striking out, in paragraph (6), “, such as SEDAR,”.
