Effective June 9, 2023, the CSA repealed and replaced Multilateral Instrument 13-102 System Fees for SEDAR and NRD to implement a flat-fee model, rather than the current model where system fees are based on the number of jurisdictions where documents are filed. The model has been designed to reflect the costs of using the new system, allow for future enhancements, and reduce the administrative burden for market participants. NRD and NRD enrolment forms have been updated to reflect the new system fee structure, which include the elimination of NRD enrolment fees.
