Concurrently Published:

On July 21, 2006, some amendments to the Securities Act and Securities Regulation came into effect. The amendments:

  • repeal section 85 [Publication of material change] of the Act, replace it with a new section 85 containing a general requirement for a reporting issuer to make periodic disclosure about its business and affairs, disclosure of a material change and other prescribed disclosure, and amend cross-references to that section -  (National Instrument 51-102 Continuous disclosure obligations (NI 51-102) and National Instrument 81-106 Investment fund continuous disclosure already contain detailed material change disclosure requirements)
  • repeal section 117 [Solicitation of proxies] of the Act and remove a cross-reference to that section - (the same two national continuous disclosure rules already contain equivalent proxy solicitation requirements)
  • add new section 7.1 to the Regulation - it provides the process for the Commission to advertise the fact that it has received money under a disgorgement order made by the court
  • fix incorrect cross-references in sections 13 and 22 of the Regulation

Effective July 24, 2006, the Commission revoked and replaced BC Instrument 51-801 Implementing National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations and BC Instrument 81-801 Implementing National Instrument 81-106 Investment Fund Continuous Disclosureto  reflect the amendments noted above.
