Information

On October 18, 2021, the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) proposed National Instrument 51-107 Disclosure of Climate-related Matters and its companion policy. As proposed, the rules would come into force on December 31, 2022 requiring reporting issuers, subject to limited exceptions and over a phased-in period, to disclose climate-related information in line with certain recommendations of the Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). This marks a significant step forward in ensuring investors have access to consistent and comparable climate-related disclosure. Click on the link below to read more.
