   Requirements is amended by inserting, after paragraph (7), the following:
   “(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].
