Amendments to Policy Statement to Regulation 52-109 Respecting Certification of Disclosure in Issuers' Annual and Interim Filings
Canadian securities regulators amended Policy Statement to Regulation 52-109 to incorporate electronic transmission requirements mandated by Regulation 13-103 respecting System Replacement. The amendment specifies that documents filed with regulators, excluding those in Québec, must be submitted electronically through the Renewed System. This change aligns certification filing procedures with the phased implementation of the new system and references the Appendix of Regulation 13-103 for any excluded securities legislation.

AMENDMENTS TO POLICY STATEMENT TO REGULATION 52-109 RESPECTING
CERTIFICATION OF DISCLOSURE IN ISSUERS’ ANNUAL AND INTERIM
FILINGS
- Policy Statement to Regulation 52-109 respecting Certification of Disclosure in
Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings is amended by inserting, after section 1.7, the following:
“1.8. 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 the Regulation and this Policy Statement.”.
