Canadian Securities Regulators Update Registration Regime for Registrants
April 15, 2011-- The Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) announced today that they have updated the regulatory framework for firms and individuals who deal in securities, provide investment advice or manage investment funds.
The revised framework adds timely amendments to the CSA’s comprehensive 2009 registration reform initiative, which modernized the existing registration rules into a harmonized regime for the CSA and Self Regulatory Organizations.
“These amendments are the result of our continuing dialogue with market participants and regulators to address questions and concerns that have arisen in the course of working with the National Registration Rules,” said Bill Rice, Chair of the CSA and Chair and Chief Executive Officer of the Alberta Securities Commission. “We believe these amendments will improve the day-to-day operation of the Instrument for both industry and regulators.”
