Ontario reauthorizes publication of issuers in default of requirements
On May 18, Ontario's Bill 16, An Act to implement 2010 Budget measures and to enact or amend various Acts, received Royal Assent. Among other things, the Bill amends section 83 of the Securities Act to once again allow the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) to publish a list of reporting issuers who are in default of any requirement of the Act or the regulations. Amendments to the Securities Act and the Commodity Futures Act also replace certain terms with comparable terms under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
