Canadian Securities Regulators And TSX Issue Temporary Exemptions From Certain Requirements In Response To COVID-19

As we reported in our March 19, 2020 Update, Canadian Securities Regulators Offer Filing Relief for Market Participants and Support Virtual Meetings, the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) announced they would provide all Canadian public companies (and other market participants) a temporary 45-day extension of the filing deadline for most securities regulatory filings otherwise required to be made on or before June 1, 2020 (the "Filing Relief"). On March 23, 2020, blanket relief orders were issued by securities commissions in each of the provinces and territories of Canada to provide the Filing Relief.  In tandem, the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) announced its own temporary blanket relief package.
