On January 19, 2017, the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) published National Instrument 94-101, Mandatory Central Counterparty Clearing of Derivatives and a related companion policy (the “Canadian Mandatory Clearing Rule”). ISDA subsequently published a classification letter to allow market participants to provide their counterparties with status information in order to determine if they are in scope for purposes of the Canadian Mandatory Clearing Rule. On January 27, 2022, the CSA published amendments to the Canadian Mandatory Clearing Rule. The following updated classification letter updates the previous letter to address these amendments.
