Legislation
Jurisdictions have been working to develop and adopt legislation
in a number of areas in an effort to co-ordinate and harmonize
securities laws in the following key areas:
- Mutual recognition and delegation powers to facilitate
the “passport system” and inter-jurisdictional
arrangements generally [already adopted in Alberta and Nova
Scotia, and similar provisions adopted in Quebec]
- Civil liability provisions based on Ontario’s civil
liability regime
- Targeted amendments to securities legislation to harmonize
key provisions to complement initiatives of the Canadian
Securities Administrators.

protection/enforcement-related provisions.
