IIROC yesterday announced the adoption of amendments to UMIR and its Dealer Member Rules  intended to achieve consistency in the oversight of similar activity occurring through different forms of third-party electronic access. 

Among other things, the amendments introduce a requirement that dealers providing order execution services include a client ID on each order entered on a marketplace for or on behalf of any client (i) whose trading activity on marketplaces exceeds a daily average of 500 orders per trading day in any calendar month; (ii) that is not an individual and is registered as a dealer or adviser in accordance with applicable securities legislation; or (iii) that is not an individual and is in the business of trading securities in a foreign jurisdiction in a manner analogous to a dealer or adviser.
