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.

Corporate Governance Guideline

The revised Corporate Governance Guideline sets out OSFI’s expectations for boards of directors of federally regulated financial institutions.

Key changes include:

  • Providing boards with greater discretion over how they meet the principles of the Guideline, taking into account their institutions’ size, complexity and risk profile;
  • Clarifying the delineation between board and senior management responsibilities; and
  • Consolidating and rationalizing all OSFI requirements for boards in one guideline.

Asset Securitization

The proposed amendments to Guideline B-5: Asset Securitization reflect events that have affected securitizations since 2004, including the financial crisis and changes to the Basel Framework. The Guideline also incorporates relevant content from the Advisory Securitization – Expected Practices (the Advisory), which was published in 2008. OSFI plans to repeal the Advisory when the revised Guideline becomes effective, currently planned for January 1, 2019.

Comments period ended October 12, 2018.
