CANADIAN SECURITIES ADMINISTRATORS’ STAFF NOTICE 12-306
Exemptive Relief Applications and Year End
This notice advises potential applicants of timing deadlines for filing and review of applications for exemptive relief for the period preceding year-end.
CSA staff wish to announce that all applications, whether or not filed under National Policy 12-201 Mutual Reliance Review System for Exemptive Relief Applications, should be filed before November 1, 2001, or November 30, 2001, in the case of applications relating to takeover bids, if exemptive relief is required before December 31, 2001. While every effort will be made to meet reasonable deadlines, if the application is filed after this date there are no assurances that the application will be reviewed or the necessary relief provided before year-end.
