The Toronto Stock Exchange reports that the comment period has been extended for market players looking to deal with the Universal Market Integrity Rules.

The TSE says that the Canadian Securities Administrators have extended the time for comments on the rules that propose to govern all market conduct until July 15. As a result, the TSE and Canadian Venture Exchange have also extended the period for commenting on UMIR to July 15.

On April 20, the TSE issued a regulatory notice requesting comments on the draft UMIR that were formulated jointly by the CDNX and TSE Regulation Services. Concurrent with the publication of UMIR, the CSA issued a request for comment which specifically seeks input on 12 questions related to UMIR and its application.
