        Filing Program.

the ability to easily view and analyze that data online in real-time," said

    "The launch of the CSA Filing Program reinforces the increasing adoption
of XBRL in the global marketplace," said Robert Rohan, Executive Vice
President of Rivet Software. "We are pleased to partner with an established
leader like CNW Group to help drive this momentum throughout Canada."

investors analyze financial information," said Jean St-Gelais, Chair of the
CSA and President & Chief Executive Officer of the Autorité des marchés
