The amendments are minor housekeeping amendments that:

• reflect Québec's participation in the National Registration Database
• replace the term "non-registered individual" with "permitted individual"
• provide some relief to registrants hamstrung by two deadlines that are too short
• ensure the regulator is kept abreast of changes in a registrant's financial year end and its auditor
• clarify the responsibilities each firm bears for the information submitted to the regulator.

The Commission is also making consequential amendments to the Registration Transfer Rules, B.C. Reg. 193/97, effective May 15, 2007.
