OBS

Traduction utilisée dans le Budget du Canada 2007, mais non officielle : l'Autorité des services financiers du Royaume-Uni. Le Canada peut se tourner vers l'expérience de l'Autorité des services financiers du Royaume-Uni, qui s'est engagée à délaisser graduellement des règles détaillées pour adopter une approche de réglementation fondée davantage sur des principes. Les principes qui sous-tendent cette approche sont simples et clairement énoncés. Par exemple, l'Autorité a adopté 11 principes simples qui s'appliquent aux entreprises qu'elle réglemente (encadré). Elle s'emploie aussi à simplifier son manuel de règles afin de le rendre moins détaillé et moins normatif.
