AMENDMENTS TO POLICY STATEMENT TO REGULATION 41-101 RESPECTING GENERAL PROSPECTUS REQUIREMENTS

1. Section 1.2 of Policy Statement to Regulation 41-101 respecting General Prospectus
   Requirements is amended by inserting, after paragraph (7), the following:
   “(8) Electronic transmission – Regulation 13-103 respecting System for Electronic Data Analysis and Retrieval + (SEDAR+) (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 System for Electronic Data Analysis and Retrieval + (SEDAR+). 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 SEDAR+, the Appendix of Regulation 13-103 respecting System for Electronic Data Analysis and Retrieval + (SEDAR+) sets out securities legislation under which documents are excluded from being filed or delivered in SEDAR+. Regulation 13-103 respecting System for Electronic Data Analysis and Retrieval + (SEDAR+) should be consulted when providing any document to a regulator, except in Québec, or securities regulatory authority under the Regulation and this Policy Statement.”.
2. Section 3.5.1 of the Policy Statement is amended:
   (1) by replacing “System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR)”, in paragraph (2), by “System for Electronic Data Analysis and Retrieval + (SEDAR+)”; (2) by replacing “SEDAR”, in paragraph (3), by “SEDAR+”.
3. The Policy Statement is amended by replacing “SEDAR”, wherever it appears, by
   “SEDAR+”.
