The Commission des valeurs mobilières du Québec (CVMQ), together with the other Canadian Securities Administrators, published National Instrument 33-102, today.

This National Instrument will have important consequences for investors, says the Canadian Securities Administrators, since it is aimed at ensuring that they are better informed about the products that they buy and the risks they may face in certain circumstances.

National Instrument 33-102 applies to all dealers and advisers registered with the CVMQ and will come into force on August 1, 2001.
