Passport system

Phase I

Regulation 11-101 respecting Principal Regulator System came into force on September 19, 2005. It is part of the passport initiative promoted by provincial and territorial governments, excluding Ontario, that are part of the Provincial/Territorial Memorandum of Understanding Regarding Securities Regulation signed in September 2004.

This regulator system is further to efforts at harmonizing securities regulation across Canada. It simplifies the task of issuers that wish to access capital markets in more than one participating province or territory. Under the new system, issuers will generally only have to deal with the regulatory body of their principal jurisdiction. The AMF is ensuring the implementation of the principal regulator system in Québec.

Decisions

Decisions concerning Regulation 11-101, which are issued on a weekly basis, are available in the securities section of the AMF Bulletin, chapter 10. The decisions are also available at the Canadian Securities Administrators.
