Regulations

To date, we have published the following regulations for comment:

Draft Prospectus and Related Registration Exemptions

The release of the draft prospectus and related registration exemptions under the Capital Markets Act of the participating provinces and territory is part of the publication of the regulations related to the Cooperative System. These regulations were not included in the draft initial regulations published in the summer of 2015 because work on them had not been completed. A Commentary explains how the draft prospectus and related registration exemptions were developed and the changes from the existing exemptions of the participating provinces and territory. Readers are urged to refer to the Commentary as they review the draft prospectus and related registration exemptions.

Comment letters on the draft prospectus and related registration exemptions have been posted.

Draft Initial Regulations

The release of the draft initial regulations under the Capital Markets Act of the participating provinces and territory is part of the 2015 summer publication of legislation and regulations related to the Cooperative System. A Commentary explains how the draft initial regulations were developed and the changes from the existing regulations, rules, forms and policies of the participating provinces and territory. Readers are urged to refer to the Commentary as they review the draft initial regulations.

At this stage, no regulations will be proposed under the Capital Markets Stability Act (Canada). Ultimately, regulations under the Capital Markets Stability Act (Canada) will address two subjects: data collection and systemic risk mitigation.

Comment letters on the revised consultation draft provincial/territorial Capital Markets Act (CMA) and draft initial regulations have been posted.
