Recital 8

(8)A CCP seeking to carry out business in a relevant province must be authorised by the relevant securities regulator. That authorisation can take the form of either recognition or an exemption from recognition. Recognition implies the full application of the respective provincial securities regime. CCPs operating in several of the relevant provinces have to be authorised as a recognised CCP at least in one province and are subject to the most stringent requirements amongst those applicable in the provinces in which they operate. Exemption from recognition is generally provided to CCPs recognised in another province, and therefore subject to direct supervision by the securities regulator of the province where the CCP is recognised, provided they are not considered by the relevant securities regulator to be systemically important or to pose significant risk to the capital markets. Securities regulators impose conditions on CCPs exempted from recognition where those CCPs are subject in the provinces where they are recognised to less cumbersome requirements than in the provinces where they are exempted from recognition. The Bank of Canada can also designate CCPs as systemically important where they have the potential to pose systemic risk to the Canadian financial system.
