In the attached advance notice, the Canadian Securities Administrators announce the expected adoption, effective January 1, 2011, of amendments to:
- National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations
- Form 51-102F1 Management’s Discussion & Analysis
- Form 51-102F2 Annual Information Form
- Form 51-102F4 Business Acquisition Report
- Form 51-102F5 Information Circular
- Form 51-102F6 Statement of Executive Compensation
- Companion Policy 51-102CP Continuous Disclosure Obligations
- National Instrument 71-102 Continuous Disclosure and Other Exemptions Relating to Foreign Issuers (NI 71-102)
- Companion Policy 71-102CP Continuous Disclosure and Other Exemptions Relating to Foreign Issuers
The purpose of the amendments is to accommodate the changeover to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in Canada. We will publish unofficial consolidated versions of the policy documents upon the effective date.
In British Columbia, we adopted NI 71-102 as an exemption order rather than as a commission rule. Because of this, instead of adopting amendments to NI 71-102 through the rule-making process, as the rest of the CSA will do, we will revoke the current order and replace it with a version that reflects the amendments discussed in the CSA Advance Notice.
