T-11.002 - Act respecting the transfer of securities and the establishment of security entitlements

Full text
116. A securities intermediary must promptly obtain and then maintain a financial asset in a quantity corresponding to the aggregate of all security entitlements that the securities intermediary has established in favour of its entitlement holders with respect to that financial asset.
The securities intermediary may maintain the financial asset directly or through one or more other securities intermediaries. Except to the extent otherwise agreed to by its entitlement holder, a securities intermediary may not encumber the financial asset with a security.
This section does not apply to a clearing agency that is itself the obligor of an option or similar obligation to which its entitlement holders have security entitlements.
