The Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) published Staff Notice 23-334 extending the comment period on proposed amendments to National Instrument 23-101 Trading Rules that would lower the active trading fee cap charged by marketplaces for trades in securities listed on both a Canadian recognized exchange and a U.S. registered national securities exchange (U.S. Inter-listed Securities). The consultation deadline has been extended from March 24, 2025 to July 2, 2025. The CSA is seeking feedback in particular on alternative fee caps of CAD 0.0010 (without foreign exchange rate consideration), CAD 0.0014 (USD 0.0010 x 1.44), CAD 0.0017 (the current cap for non-U.S. Inter-listed Securities), or another alternative. Previously received comments are available on the websites of the Alberta Securities Commission, the Ontario Securities Commission and the Autorité des marchés financiers, and new submissions will be posted when available.
