Securities regulators approve changes to marketplace trading obligations
As we discussed in April 2010, the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada proposed amendments to UMIR last year that would, among other things, replace the definition of "Market Maker Obligations" with a definition of "Marketplace Trading Obligations" and make various other changes to odd lot and marketplace trading obligations. The OSC and a number of other Canadian securities regulators have now approved the amendments, which become effective today. For more information, see IIROC Notice 11-0251.
