Notice of Commission Approval – Amendments Respecting Market Transparency in Trading of Domestic Debt Securities – Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC)

 
The Ontario Securities Commission has approved IIROC’s proposed amendments to Dealer Member Rule 2100.

The amendments accommodate any entity who acts as an information processor and ensure consistency with the requirements in National Instrument 21-101.

The proposed amendments were published for comment on June 2, 2016. No public comments were received. No changes to the proposed amendments, as set out in Notice 16-0117, were made.

The amendments are effective immediately. A copy of the IIROC Notice including the amendments can be found at http://www.osc.gov.on.ca.
