there are quiet periods and blackout periods in canada
6.8 Insider Trading Policies and Blackout Periods: Adopt an insider trading policy thatprovides for a senior officer to approve and monitor the trading activity of all your insiders and
officers. Your insider trading policy should prohibit purchases and sales at any time by insiders
who are in possession of material nonpublic information. Your policy should also provide for
trading “blackout periods” when trading by employees may not take place (for example a
blackout period which surrounds regularly scheduled earnings announcements). A company’s
blackout period may mirror the quiet period described above.
