The Financial Services Commission of Ontario (FSCO) provides for the regulation of insurance, pension plans, loan and trust companies, credit unions and caisses populaires, mortgage brokers and co-operative corporations by delivering efficient and effective regulatory services that protect consumers of financial services and support a reliable, dynamic and competitive industry. FSCO also makes recommendations to the Minister on matters affecting the regulated sectors. In addition, the Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Fund compensates persons injured in automobile accidents in Ontario by an uninsured, unidentified or stolen vehicle where there is no other insurance available to respond to the claim.
Securities regulation in Ontario is performed by the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC). On November 1, 1997, the OSC became a self-funding agency, financing its operations through retention of its fee revenues.
