Vancouver - Members of the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) are issuing exemptions from certain filing requirements in connection with the deferred launch of SEDAR+, the new platform to be used for filing, disclosing and searching for information on Canada's capital markets. The CSA now intends to launch SEDAR+ on July 25, 2023, with a contingency date in September.
Due to the implementation deferral, capital market participants are required to continue using SEDAR, and other systems currently in use for local filings, until the start of the new system cutover period, which will be announced by the end of June.
As a result:
About SEDAR+
At launch, SEDAR+ will consolidate and replace SEDAR, the national Cease Trade Order (CTO) database, the Disciplined List (DL) database and certain filings currently made in paper or in the British Columbia Securities Commission's eServices system and the Ontario Securities Commission's electronic filing portal. SEDAR+ will also include a consolidated reporting issuers list from all provincial and territorial regulators.
Future phases of SEDAR+ will replace the System for Electronic Disclosure by Insiders (SEDI), the NRD and the remaining filings in local systems.
The CSA, the council of the securities regulators of Canada's provinces and territories, co-ordinates and harmonizes regulation for the Canadian capital markets.
