NIN 97/02 - Revised Indices of Notices and Interpretation Notes, Blanket Orders and Rulings, and Local Policy Statements under the Securities Act, Securities Regulation and Securities Rules [NIN - Rescinded]

Published Date: 1997-01-17
Effective Date: 1997-01-16
Effective January 15, 1997, the Commission is rescinding the indices dated effective February 15, 1996 of the Notices and Interpretation Notes, Blanket Orders and Rulings, and Local Policy Statements under the Securities Act, Securities Regulation, and Securities Rules and substituting the indices attached to this Notice. The Forms index is attached to NIN#97/3.

The NIN index lists only the NINs that are in effect and that have been lapsed since the publication of the previous index. The lapsing of a particular Notice does not imply that any material introduced or referred to in the Notice is no longer in effect. The index of BORs lists only the BORs that are in effect.

NINs, BORs, LPSs and Forms will be amended in due course to correct section references that have changed as a result of the coming into force of the Securities Regulation, B.C. Reg. 478/95 (New Regulation), Securities Rules, B.C. Reg. 479/95 (the Rules) and Registration Transfer Rules, B.C. Reg. 477/95 and the repeal of the Securities Regulation, B.C. Reg. 270/86 (the Old Regulation) and the Registration Transfer Regulation, B.C. Reg. 286/86 (the Old RTR). Until the updated NINs, BORs, LPSs and Forms are published, they should be read to refer, with the necessary changes, to the appropriate sections of the New Regulation and Rules. Refer to the Table of Concordance at p. 478 of the Commissions Special Supplement to the Weekly Summary, published for the week ending November 24, 1995, to update section references from the Old Regulation and the Old RTR.

In addition, a number of LPSs have been revised, replaced or rescinded (eg. LPS 3-07 replaced old LPSs 3-07 to 3-10). As a result, other LPSs may contain inaccurate references to rescinded LPSs. In addition to updating the LPSs to reflect changes to the legislation, the LPSs will also be updated in due course to reflect the changes consequential to the implementation of all new and replacement LPSs. Until the updated LPSs are published, they should be read to refer, with the necessary changes, to the new and replacement LPSs.

DATED at Vancouver, British Columbia, on January 16, 1997.
