Le Reporter (publié en anglais seulement) est un sommaire mensuel de l'évolution des législations et réglementations internationales et fédérales canadiennes qui sont pertinentes pour les institutions financières de régime fédéral au Canada. Il ne traite pas de l'évolution législative ou réglementaire des services financiers provinciaux, bien que BLG suive de près tout changement dans ce secteur et puisse, sur demande, fournir de l'information à ce sujet. De plus, les modifications de nature purement technique et administrative (comme celles qui sont apportées aux formulaires de rapport) ne sont pas traitées.

Assessment of Financial Institutions Regulations, 2017

The main objects of the regulatory proposal are to replace the current Regulations to address the three above-noted issues:

  1. Best proxy — implement a better proxy by which to measure OSFI's time and resource expenditures to ensure a fair and accurate distribution of OSFI's expenses across FRFIs.
  2. Greater stability — revise the assessment methodologies to make them less prone to be affected by major impacts resulting from future accounting changes and other changes to international standards.
  3. Update minimum assessments — update the minimum amounts assessed, ensure that they remain up-to-date over time, and reduce unnecessary complexity.

Notice of designation to the Canadian Payments Association — Payment clearing and settlement Act

The Governor of the Bank of Canada has designated the Automated Clearing Settlement System (ACSS) for oversight under the Payment Clearing and Settlement Act (PCSA) as a clearing and settlement system that has the potential to pose payments system risk.

Designation brings the system under the formal oversight of the Bank of Canada, which requires compliance with Risk Management Standards for Prominent Payment Systems. Designation also provides the system with legal protections that are important to the finality of payments.

Effective May 2, 2016
