An amendment to this rule was adopted as a rule in a number of other Canadian jurisdictions effective August 3, 1999. A copy of the Filer Manual referred to in this National Instrument is not attached but may be obtained from the Commission; and
2. National Instrument 14-101 - Definitions. This national instrument was adopted as a rule in a number of other Canadian jurisdictions effective April 1, 1997. An amendment to this rule was adopted in a number of other Canadian jurisdictions effective July 1, 1999.
Interested parties and companies may make written representations to the Commission with respect to these proposed rules on or before Monday, April 3, 2000.
