Jan2009 the Expert Panel on Securities Regulation, chaired by former federal cabinet minister Thomas Hockin, delivered its final report (together with a draft Securities Act) to the federal Minister of Finance and the provincial and territorial Ministers responsible for securities regulation. The result of the panel’s ten months of deliberations is the recommendation that the regulatory system be overhauled and modernised, and the 13 provincial securities regulators unified into a single national securities regulator.
In order to ease the transition to IFRSs with XBRL the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) and the Canadian XBRL jurisdiction (XBRL Canada) have contributed to the development of the Convergence Assistant (CA) http://www.convergenceassistant.com , a web-based application that makes possible the standardisation and conversion of charts of accounts and trial balances to different XBRL taxonomies. The CA is a showcase of the XBRL International Global Ledger (GL) Taxonomy
