Draft Amendment to Policy Statement to Regulation 44-103 Respecting Post-Receipt Pricing

Securities regulators amended the Policy Statement to Regulation 44-103 to incorporate electronic transmission requirements for documents filed with regulators. The amendment mandates that all documents be transmitted electronically through the Renewed System, aligning with Regulation 13-103 respecting System Replacement, while excluding Quebec. This change ensures compliance with the phased implementation of the Renewed System for securities legislation documents.

AMENDMENTS TO POLICY STATEMENT TO REGULATION 44-103 RESPECTING POST-RECEIPT PRICING

  1. Policy Statement to Regulation 44-103 respecting Post-Receipt Pricing 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 the Regulation and this Policy Statement.”.
