Summary
As development of private placement exemptions continues, securities regulators in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and New Brunswick have adopted another exemption to the prospectus requirement (the “Investment Advice Exemption”).

The Investment Advice Exemption became effective on January 14, 2016.
