			Proposed Rule Changes – 4-106 and 4-107 Entry of Orders &lt;?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /&gt; 
Notice and Request for Comments   &lt;?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /&gt;February 16, 2007   The Board of Directors of Canadian Trading and Quotation System Inc. (“CNQ”) has passed a resolution to amend the order entry rules upon Ontario Securities Commission approval following public notice and comment. The text of the proposed rules is attached as Appendix “A”. The Board has determined that the proposed amendments are in the public interest and have authorized them to be published for public notice and comments. Comments should be made no later than 30 days from the date of publication of this notice and should be addressed to: Canadian Trading and Quotation System Inc. BCE Place, 161 Bay Street Suite 3850, P.O. Box 207 Toronto, ON M5J 2S1 Attention: Mark Faulkner, Director, Listings and Regulation Fax: 416.572.4160 Email: <a href="mailto:Mark.Faulkner@cnq.ca" rel="nofollow">Mark.Faulkner@cnq.ca</a> A copy should be provided to the Ontario Securities Commission at the following address: Capital Markets Branch Ontario Securities commission Suite 1903, Box 55 20 Queen Street West Toronto, ON M5H 3S8 Attention: Cindy Petlock, Manager, Market Regulation Fax: 416.595.8940 Email: <a href="mailto:cpetlock@osc.gov.on.ca" rel="nofollow">cpetlock@osc.gov.on.ca</a> &lt;?P&gt;Proposed Change CNQ is proposing amendments to the order entry rules which would eliminate the restriction on CNQ Dealers entering orders that improve the market. Rationale On February 1, 2005 CNQ amended order entry rules to allow Non-Market Maker CNQ Dealers to enter additional order types on Market Maker securities. The purpose of the rule change was to improve the efficiency of the trading model by reducing the obligation of the Market Makers and increasing the ability of CNQ Dealers to manage their own order flow. Compliance with the current rule requires manual order handling, as a decision must be made prior to entry as to whether the order must be directed to a Market Maker or entered into the CNQ system. The removal of the remaining restrictions on CNQ Dealers will result in more direct access to the trading system, and allow CNQ Dealers to develop more automated procedures. Automated, expeditious order handling is essential, given the trade-through obligations when trading interlisted securities. Direct order entry will also ensure that orders entered by a CNQ Dealer will be identified as orders from that Dealer, rather than a Market Maker. The current lack of visibility “in the book” detracts from transparency and may lead to the erroneous conclusion that Market Makers have an inordinate control or influence over the market. Description of Rule Change The changes to the order entry rules, which currently restrict the entry of “market improving” orders to Market Makers, would allow approved traders at all CNQ Dealers to enter orders and crosses on all securities, including orders for client and non-client accounts. The changes would also impose a restriction that only a Designated Market Maker, i.e. a CNQ Dealer acting as a Market Maker on a specific security, may enter orders on behalf of another participant on that security, regardless of whether the originating dealer is a CNQ Dealer or not. The definition of “Client Matching Order” and all references will be deleted. The proposed Rules are attached as Appendix “A”, and a blacklined version of the existing Rules is attached as Appendix “B” Impact The proposed changes will not require any technological changes or development by CNQ Dealers. The rules will not require CNQ Dealers to enter orders directly, but will provide that option. The order flow through Market Makers will be reduced, and orders for CNQ Dealers will be more easily identified in the CNQ system, allowing CNQ Dealers to more effectively manage their orders. There will be no direct costs associated with compliance. The removal of the restriction on entering orders that improve the market will for many dealers will reduce or eliminate the need to handle all orders manually. In market data displays orders will be clearly identified by the clearing number of the originating CNQ Dealer, improving transparency and providing more accurate information to market participants and investors. Consultation The proposed rule change has been requested by listed companies, individual investors and CNQ Dealers. Market Maker firms representing a significant percentage of market making activity have also been consulted. CNQ is currently considering incentives for Market Makers to encourage continued participation, such as the elimination of trading fees for passive trades. Alternatives The purpose of the proposed changes is to provide unencumbered access to the market by CNQ Dealers. As such, no significant alternatives were considered. Comparable Rules All Canadian Stock Exchanges allow direct order entry by participants. Conclusion The proposed change is recommended on the basis that: (i) it is not contrary to the provisions of the Securities Act or UMIR; (ii) it is not contrary to the public interest and in fact may contribute to the maintenance of a fair and orderly market by allowing direct access to all CNQ Dealers; (iii) it is warranted in the opinion of CNQ Staff after consideration of the circumstances of the CNQ Dealers and Market Makers.   Appendix “A”   Proposed Rules   Rule 4-106 Entry of Orders for CNQ-Listed Securities     (1)        Subject to Rule 4-107, any CNQ Dealer may enter         (a)    orders and         (b)    crosses at any price between the bid and offer   into the CNQ System for a CNQ-listed security.   (2)        Orders (other than special terms orders, Client Matching Orders and crosses) may be entered on a fully-disclosed or partially disclosed basis.
