The New Brunswick Financial and Consumer Services Commission published operational guidance in response to the ongoing Canada Post strike, noting that most regular mail service has been suspended and urging regulated parties with time-sensitive documents or payments to use the Commission’s self-serve portal, a courier, or to provide credit card payment details by phone. For securities matters, required filings by market participants should be submitted by courier or email unless the filing must be made through SEDAR+, SEDI or the National Registration Database (NRD). For pensions, the Superintendent of Pensions has extended, under section 81 of the Pension Benefits Act, the deadline for annual statements due prior to September 30, 2025 to no later than 30 days after the postal strike ends.
