Summary:
As part of its regulatory burden reduction initiative, the CSA has proposed amendments to NI 33-109 in order to make it easier for registrants (and applicants for registration) to complete the registration forms more accurately and require less duplicative information. The CSA also has proposed a new framework for reporting outside business activities, to reduce the scope of activities caught and extend the filing deadlines for informing regulators of such activities. Deadlines for reporting changes in certain other registration information are also proposed to be extended (from 10 to 15 days for some information and from 10 to 30 days for others, including other outside activities). The proposed rule would also allow corporate groups to consolidate some of the reporting of changes. Additional clarification would be provided for certain information requested in the forms, such as more specificity in termination forms on expectations for disclosure of allegations of non-compliance with standards of conduct. A new requirement to collect the professional titles used by registrants is also being proposed.
