The Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) has published final amendments implementing an optional Access Model that modernizes how reporting issuers, excluding investment funds, distribute continuous disclosure documents. The framework permits issuers to provide electronic access to annual and interim financial statements alongside management’s discussion and analysis via the SEDAR+ platform, replacing traditional delivery requirements. Investors retain the right to request or maintain standing instructions for electronic or paper copies, with the updated rules set to take effect on September 22, 2026.
