There are a number of different NIs, each of which covers a specific topic. Some of the most important NIs include:
* NI 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects
* NI 51-102 - Continuous Disclosure Obligations
* NI 52-109 - Certification of Disclosure in Issuers' Annual and Interim Filings
* NI 62-103 - The Early Warning System
These NIs set out the requirements for public companies to disclose material information to investors, such as financial statements, management's discussion and analysis, and information about insiders' transactions. NIs also set out the requirements for public companies to file periodic reports with the securities regulator, such as annual and quarterly filings.
NIs are important because they help to ensure that investors have the information they need to make informed investment decisions. By requiring public companies to disclose material information, NIs help to protect investors from fraud and other forms of market abuse.
NIs are also important for the Canadian capital markets as a whole. By setting out clear rules and requirements for public companies, NIs help to create a level playing field for all participants in the market. This helps to attract investment and promote economic growth.
