Decision No. 2025-PDG-0050: General Decision Exempting the Obligation to Transmit Interim Financial Reports, Annual Financial Statements, Management Reports, and Fund Performance Reports During a Postal Service Suspension
The Autorité des marchés financiers issued Decision No. 2025-PDG-0050 to temporarily exempt issuers and investment funds from the obligation to mail financial and management reports to security holders during the nationwide postal service suspension triggered by the Canada Post strike on September 25, 2025. This exemption applies provided that entities file their reports electronically with the regulator, publish a notice on SEDAR+ detailing how holders can request copies, and resume physical mailings within ten days of the postal service's restoration. The decision ensures that market participants can comply with disclosure requirements despite logistical disruptions while maintaining investor protection standards.
