NOTE: Until rules or instruments become effective as evidenced by their publication in The Alberta Gazette (see section 225 of the Securities Act (Alberta)), they are subject to non-substantive changes. Should such changes occur, a revised version of the relevant rule or instrument will be published on this website.
Industry and public consultation is an important part of the regulatory process and provides good input into new or revised legislation. When the ASC or the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) believes new or revised regulation is required, they will typically publish the proposed new documents for public comment.

Due to the challenges presented by the COVID-19 outbreak, the comment periods for CSA proposals that are currently out for comment have been extended by 45 days. In addition, no new CSA proposals will be published for comment until at least May 30, 2020.
As we continue to focus our regulatory efforts on helping market participants and investors address challenges created by COVID-19, we will assess the need to further defer publication of CSA proposals.

As a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Alberta Securities Commission (ASC), along with the securities regulatory authorities in British Columbia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Northwest Territories, Nova Scotia, Nunavut, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan and Yukon (the participating jurisdictions) has published a new blanket order that provides registrants with temporary relief from certain financial statement and information delivery requirements. The conditions of the relief are substantially the same as the temporary relief announced on March 23 (prior relief), but the relief is only applicable to registrants with filing or delivery deadlines in the periods described below.
The blanket relief provides a 60-day extension for periodic filings normally required to be made between June 2, 2020 and September 30, 2020. Registrants that have already used the prior relief to extend their deadline for any financial statement or information delivery requirements occurring on or before June 1, 2020, cannot use this relief to further extend that deadline.
Registrants who are registered in multiple jurisdictions will need to ensure that they satisfy normally applicable filing deadlines in those jurisdictions where the relief does not apply.
The securities regulatory authorities in Québec and Manitoba separately published temporary blanket relief from certain financial statement and information delivery requirements for registrants whose principal regulator is one of the participating jurisdictions.Registrants and their counsel are encouraged to review the press release and the text of the orders for more details.

As a result of COVID-19, the Alberta Securities Commission (ASC), along with the other jurisdictions of the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA), are providing temporary blanket relief that permits mutual funds to engage in additional short-term borrowing from April 17, 2020 to July 31, 2020 for the limited purpose of facilitating liquidation of fixed income assets in their portfolios to accommodate redemptions. The conditional temporary relief is available to any mutual fund in Canada that invests a portion of its assets in fixed income securities. This blanket relief is substantively harmonized with the other CSA jurisdictions’ relief.
On October 3, 2019, the CSA published the Client Focused Reforms (CFRs), which are relevant to all registrants. The CSA provided for a phased transition period, with the reforms relating to conflicts of interest and relationship disclosure information (RDI) provisions taking effect on December 31, 2020, and the remaining reforms taking effect on December 31, 2021.
The CSA recognizes the significant work many registrants need to undertake to implement the CFRs. We also recognize that the effects of COVID-19 will include disruptions to registrants’ access to office facilities, personnel and other key resources, presenting them with serious challenges to their ability to implement the conflict of interest CFRs by December 31, 2020. Under these circumstances, the CSA has decided to grant relief to postpone the effective date by which registrants will have to comply with the conflicts of interest CFRs by six months to June 30, 2021.
Through the CFRs Implementation Committee, industry stakeholders have informed the CSA of operational challenges associated with changes that registrants will be required to make to their relationship disclosure information pursuant to the CFRs. Accordingly, the CSA has decided to grant relief to extend the time which registrants will have to comply with the RDI CFRs. The implementation of the RDI CFRs will be postponed until December 31, 2021, so that they will come into effect at the same time as the remaining reforms under the CFRs.

Creditex proposes to offer direct trading access to its U.S. fixed income Alternative Trading Systems to prospective Canadian participants, including participants in Alberta.

The Canadian Securities Administrators are publishing CSA Staff Notice 21-328 Regulatory Approach to Foreign Marketplaces Trading Fixed Income Securities (the Notice) to communicate a new framework for granting exemptions to foreign alternative trading systems trading fixed income securities (Foreign ATSs). We are also providing notice that foreign multilateral trading facilities may be permitted to trade fixed income securities. The Notice describes an exemption model for Foreign ATSs that would rely on the home jurisdiction for regulation but impose relevant regulatory terms and conditions on the operations of the Foreign ATS within Canada. The exemption model is aimed at removing unnecessary regulatory burden to operating in Canada while maintaining high standards of investor protection and market integrity. Under the exemption model, Foreign ATSs may be permitted to offer direct trading access to Canadian participants without having to establish a Canadian-based affiliate, provided they meet certain terms and conditions, including a requirement that they comply with the applicable regulation in their home jurisdiction. The Notice sets out the details on the application process, exemption criteria and sample terms and conditions that may be included in a Foreign ATSs exemption order.

The Canadian Securities Administrators are publishing, for a 90-day comment period, proposed amendments to National Instrument 31-103 Registration Requirements, Exemptions and Ongoing Registrant Obligations and Companion Policy 31-103CP Registration Requirements, Exemptions and Ongoing Registrant Obligations.

Additionally, the proposed amendments set out the steps that a registered firm must take if they place a temporary hold in circumstances where the firm has a reasonable belief that a vulnerable client is being financially exploited or that a client lacks mental capacity. The proposed amendments also clarify that Canadian securities legislation does not prevent a registered firm from placing temporary holds in circumstances where the firm has a reasonable belief of these concerns, if the firm is otherwise legally entitled to place the hold.

The Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) today published rule amendments to implement the Client Focused Reforms (the reforms) across Canada. These reforms are based on the fundamental concept that clients’ interests come first in their dealings with firms and individuals that are registered to give investment advice and trade in securities (registrants).
Registrants will be required to address material conflicts of interest in the best interest of their clients and put clients’ interests first when determining the suitability of investments. These fundamental changes are supported with enhancements to registrants’ obligations to “know your product,” “know your client,” consider specific suitability factors, and disclose important information to clients. Some changes introduce new obligations on registrants, while others raise the bar by codifying industry best practices.
The Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC) and the Mutual Fund Dealers Association of Canada (MFDA) were active participants throughout this process, and will amend their respective member rules, policies and guidance to be uniform with the changes published today.
The reforms come into force across Canada on December 31, 2019, provided all ministerial approvals are obtained. There will be a phased transition period, with the reforms relating to conflicts of interest and the associated relationship disclosure provisions taking effect on December 31, 2020, and the remaining changes taking effect on December 31, 2021.
