Anticipated costs and benefits

The changes to SEDI in Release 1.7.0 are expected to benefit filers by streamlining the screen flow. We anticipate that Release 1.7.0 will result in fewer filing errors and an improved insider report filing process, resulting in reduced costs to filers. We also anticipate that the costs to the CSA associated with providing support to filers will be reduced.
