The Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA), through the CSA Derivatives Committee; OSFI for federally-regulated institutions; and CIRO for dealers, oversee the frameworks that reference the LEI. The headline regime is CSA Multilateral Instrument 96-101, alongside prudential and statistical returns.
