BCN 2001/49 - Streamlining - Renumbering of Instruments [BCN - Rescinded]

Over the past few months, the Commission has been streamlining its regulatory instruments by eliminating the outdated and less useful instruments and by renumbering the surviving ones. We have now reissued all the surviving instruments under the 5-digit subject-based numbering system, except those that will be replaced in the near future by NI 33-102 “Regulation of Certain Registrant Activities“, NI 45-101 “Rights Offerings” and NI 45-102 “Resale of Securities“.  We have used this system for local instruments issued since mid-1999. You can find an explanation of this system on our website at www.bcsc.bc.ca under “Database Details” on our Commission Documents Database page.

We have brought the re-issued instruments up to date by correcting cross-references and making similar editorial amendments. In total, we have reissued 61 instruments as part of the streamlining initiative (see also BCNs 2001/13, 2001/19, 2001/28, 2001/40 and 2001/45).

Appendix A lists the 3 Notices we are eliminating today. Most of the instruments we have eliminated are no longer applicable. Some refer to matters that are not now topical. In the latter case, the elimination of the instrument does not necessarily mean that the Commission has changed its view on the matter, only that it is not of sufficient current interest to warrant Commission comment.

All documents listed in Appendix A will continue to be accessible in the Historical Documents Database at the Commission's website.

Appendix B lists the 8 instruments we are re-issuing today under this Notice.

Appendix C is a table of concordance showing all instruments re-issued under the new numbering system, including those re-issued before the streamlining project began.
