The Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions has published more of the regulations implementing financial services reform.

This second package of regulations includes ones that relate to consumer protection, as well as ones that open the payments system to non-banks.

The regulations are the result of Bill C-8, which received final approval on October 31. Of the 19 regulations included in this package, eight relate to consumer provisions in the legislation.

Another seven regulations are particular to the supervisory structure of the legislation. Two regulations pertain to access to the Canadian payments system while the remaining two regulations deal with permitted investment issues that flow from the new holding company regime.

The regulations were published in the November 21 issue of the Canada Gazette.
