Re: Connor, Clark & Lunn Funds Inc. (the Filer)
Preliminary Simplified Prospectus, Annual Information Form and Fund Facts dated November 9, 2018
CC&L Alternative Global Equity Fund, CC&L Alternative Canadian Equity, and CC&L Alternative Income Fund (collectively, the Funds)
Application under section 6.1 of National Instrument 81-101 – Mutual Fund Prospectus Disclosure (NI 81-101) for an extension of the 90-day period under subsection 2.1(2) of NI 81-101
Application No. 2019/0094; SEDAR Project No. 2840931
By letter dated February 19, 2019 (the Application), the Filer, as the manager of the Funds, applied on behalf of the Funds to the Director of the Ontario Securities Commission (the Director) under section 6.1 of NI 81-101 for relief from subsection 2.1(2) of NI 81-101, which prohibits a mutual fund from filing a prospectus more than 90 days after the date of the receipt for the preliminary simplified prospectus.
This letter confirms that, based on the information and representations made in the Application, and for the purposes described in the Application, the Director intends to grant the requested exemption to be evidenced by the issuance of a receipt for the Funds’ prospectus filed on February 15, 2019.
Yours very truly,
