NIN 98/34 - Revised Indices of Policies and Other Instruments under the Securities Act [NIN - Rescinded]

Effective June 30, 1998, the Commission is rescinding the indices dated effective January 16, 1998 of the:

• Notices and Interpretation Notes ("NINs")
• Blanket Orders and Rulings ("BORs")
• Local Policy Statements ("LPSs")
• National Instruments, Policies and Forms and CSA Notices and CSA Requests for Comment

The Commission is substituting the indices attached to this Notice. The Forms index is attached to NIN#98/35.

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 The lapsing of a particular Notice does not imply that any material introduced or referred to in the Notice is no longer in effect.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 those BORs that are in effect.

Effective January 1, 1996, the Commodity Contract Act, R.S.B.C. 1979, c. 56 ("CCA"), was repealed. BORs under the CCA continue to have effect to the extent that the provisions in the CCA were continued under the Securities Act. The CCA BORs will be replaced in due course. For ease of reference, a list of the CCA BORs is included in the BORs Index.

The index of National Instruments and other reformulation instruments lists only those instruments that are currently in effect. The index reflects the numbering system adopted in connection with the policy reformulation and rule-making project as discussed in NIN#96/23. (See NIN#96/13 for a discussion of National Instruments and National Policies.)

NINs, BORs and LPSs will be amended in due course to correct section references that have changed as a result of the coming into force of the revised Securities Act, R.S.B.C. 1996, c. 418 (the "Revised Act"), on April 21, 1997, and the amendments to the Securities Regulation, and the new Securities Rules, and Registration Transfer Rules on June 17, 1997 and January 1, 1996. The Revised Act replaced the Securities Act, S.B.C. 1985, c. 83 (the "Prior Act"). The Securities Regulation, Securities Rules and Registration Transfer Rules that came into effect on June 17, 1997 replaced the Securities Regulation, Securities Rules and Registration Transfer Rules that had come into effect on January 1, 1996. There were no section number changes as a result of the June 17, 1997, revision of the Securities Regulation, Securities Rules and Registration Transfer Rules. The January 1, 1996, Securities Regulation, Securities Rules and Registration Transfer Rules replaced the former Securities Regulation, B.C. Reg. 270/86 (the "Old Regulation) and the former Registration Transfer Regulation, B.C. Reg. 286/86 (the "Old RTR"). Until the updated NINs, BORs and LPSs are published, they should be read to refer, with the necessary changes, to the appropriate sections of the Revised Act, Securities Regulation, and Securities Rules. Refer to the Table of Concordance at page 478 of the Commission’s 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. Also, refer to the Table of Concordance at page 6 of the Commission’s Special Supplement to the Weekly Summary published for the week ending April 4, 1997 to update section references from the Prior Act to the Revised Act.

In addition, a number of LPSs have been revised, replaced or rescinded in the past several years (e.g., LPS 3-07 replaced old LPSs 3-07 to 3-10). As a result, other LPSs may contain outdated 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 June 30, 1998.
