Notice of Approval - Amendment and Restated Recognition Order of the Mutual Fund Dealers Association of Canada

 On April 16, 2004, the Commission issued an order amending and restating its order recognizing the Mutual Fund Dealers Association of Canada (“MFDA”) as a self-regulatory organization.  The objective of the amendment and restatement are: 

1. to reflect changes in the MFDA’s governance structure;
   

2. to clarify the MFDA’s ability to enter into arrangements with another party to perform certain regulatory functions; and
   

3. to make housekeeping amendments to streamline the current recognition order.

The securities commissions in Alberta, British Columbia, Nova Scotia and Ontario have also amended and restated their recognition orders of the MFDA as a self-regulatory organization.
