Draft Amendment to Policy Statement to Regulation 81-106 respecting Investment Fund Continuous Disclosure
The Canadian securities regulators amended Policy Statement to Regulation 81-106 to align investment fund continuous disclosure requirements with the phased implementation of the Renewed System. The revision replaces section 1.6 to mandate that documents required or permitted to be filed with regulators, excluding those in Québec, must be transmitted electronically through the Renewed System. This change ensures compliance with Regulation 13-103 respecting System Replacement by defining the scope of covered documents and referencing the Appendix for any legislative exclusions.

AMENDMENTS TO POLICY STATEMENT TO REGULATION 81-106 RESPECTING
INVESTMENT FUND CONTINUOUS DISCLOSURE
- Policy Statement to Regulation 81-106 respecting Investment Fund Continuous
Disclosure is amended by replacing section 1.6 with the following:
“1.6. Electronic Transmission to a Regulator, except in Québec, or Securities
Regulatory Authority
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.”.
