EXTENSION TO REQUEST FOR COMMENTS
On April 20, 2001, the Canadian Venture Exchange (“CDNX”) issued Regulatory Notice No. 01-17 requesting comments on draft rules entitled “Universal Market Integrity Rules” (“UMIR”) that were formulated jointly by CDNX and TSE Regulation Services. CDNX and the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSE”) have suggested that UMIR replace the proposed National Instrument 23-101 - Trading Rules published by the Canadian Securities Administrators (“CSA”) on July 28, 2000. UMIR was designed to promote a fair and orderly market and to apply on a general basis to securities listed on the Exchange or CDNX or traded on another marketplace, including an alternative trading system.
Concurrent with the publication of UMIR, the CSA issued Request for Comment 23-401, which specifically sought comment on twelve questions related to UMIR and its application. The CSA has extended the time for submission of comments in response to this request until July 15, 2001. As a result, CDNX and the TSE have also extended the period for commenting on UMIR to July 15, 2001. Comments should be in writing and delivered to the persons and agencies listed in Regulatory Notice 01-17.
A French translation of Regulatory Notice 01-17 is available on the French-language section of the TSE’s website at tse.com under the heading “Règles universelles d’intégrité du marché”. This translation has been for information purposes and in the event of an inconsistency between the French and English versions, reference should be made to the English-language document.
Questions concerning this notice may be directed to Maryn Sigurdson, Vice President, Regulatory Affairs & Corporate Secretary at (403) 974-7466 or Deborah Armour, Vice President and General Counsel at (604) 643-6559.
