DBRS has today published an updated version of its Canadian Structured Finance Flow-Through Ratings Methodology. The updated version clarifies the structures to which DBRS may apply this methodology. Publication of this updated methodology is part of DBRS’s ongoing efforts to provide greater transparency to the ratings process.

DBRS does not view the updates to the methodology as significant. As such, DBRS has determined that no ratings actions on ratings subject to this methodology are warranted. This updated methodology supersedes the previously published version.

DBRS criteria and methodologies are publicly available on its website www.dbrs.com under Methodologies.
