IIROC releases final amendments to Dealer Member Rules to implement registration reform

Posted on September 17, 2009

The Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC) announced yesterday the approval of amendments to its Dealer Member Rules related to the implementation of registration reform. Proposed amendments were originally published for comment on September 26, 2008 and an amended proposal was published on July 17, 2009. The final version of the amendments, having incorporated the suggestions of the securities regulators, have now been approved by the regulators. The amendments will, among other things, reduce the number of approval categories from 46 to 11, merge supervisory categories and implement a principles-based approach to supervision. Most of the amendments will be effective on September 28, 2009 in conjunction with National Instrument 31-103 Registration Requirements and Exemptions.
