Industry and public consultation is an important part of the regulatory process and provides good input into new or revised legislation.
When the ASC or CSA believe new or revised regulation is required, they will typically publish the proposed new documents for public comment. Proposals that are currently available for public comment:

The ASC is inviting public comment on proposed ASC Rule 45-511 Local Prospectus Exemptions and Related Requirements (ASC Rule 45-511) and Consequential Amendments to Alberta Securities Commission Rules (General) (the Rules). Proposed ASC Rule 45-511 is a local rule that consolidates the remaining local prospectus exemptions and related requirements contained in the Rules. As a result, we are proposing the repeal of several sections of the Rules as they will be replaced by similar provisions in ASC Rule 45-511. The comment period will end on March 12, 2010.
