FSRA regulates financial services that are critically important to millions of Ontarians, including pensions, mortgage brokers, life and health insurance, auto insurance, health service providers, and credit unions.

"The Consumer Advisory Panel plays an important role in bringing the diverse voices and perspectives of consumers to the regulator," said Co-Chair Lucy Becker. "We are seeking individuals who want to make a meaningful difference in the lives of consumers by providing a range of insights to help FSRA protect Ontarians and improve outcomes."

The Panel is made up of a diverse group of consumer representatives, and its input is shared with FSRA's senior leadership team and Board of Directors. Appointed for an initial two-year term, Panel members participate in discussions with FSRA representatives in both general meetings and topic-specific working groups.

Applicants will be selected based on their relevant experience, skills, knowledge and perspectives, with an emphasis on ensuring the Panel has expertise in the sectors FSRA regulates and includes viewpoints representing the geographic and demographic diversity of Ontario consumers.
