Policies & Instruments
- BC Notice 2003/14 - Joint Forum of Financial Market Regulators
Comments requested on proposed Guidelines for Capital Accumulation Plans- Consultation Paper 81-404 - Proposed Guidelines for Capital Accumulation Plans
In this consultation paper, the Joint Forum of Financial Market Regulations is asking for comments from industry, plan sponsors, and plan participants, about their proposed guidelines for operating capital accumulation plans. These plans include, for example, some defined contribution pension plans, group RRSP, and employee stock purchase plans. Once the guidelines are finalized the Commission and other regulators in the Joint Forum will use these guidelines, and the principles supporting them that we published as Consultation Paper 81-401, to determine how the Commission can best implement the guidelines to ensure that plan participants are receiving appropriate and adequate information, and advice, about their plans.
