Who regulates car insurance in Canada?

Car insurance in Canada is regulated at the provincial level. This means that each province and territory has its own regulations, laws, and governing bodies for car insurance.

Here's a breakdown:

* Each province/territory has its own insurance regulator: These regulators, like the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario (FSRA), are responsible for setting standards for car insurance companies, ensuring their solvency, and protecting consumers.

* There is no national regulator: While some national organizations like the Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) provide guidance and information, they don't have the power to set regulations.

* Regulations can vary significantly: This includes things like mandatory coverage requirements, pricing structures, and dispute resolution processes.

To find out more about car insurance regulations in your specific province/territory, you should consult the website of your provincial insurance regulator.
