New Brunswick establishes an independent
financial services regulatory agency
By Arthur Doyle, EMDA Director and Partner, Cox & Palmer
Effective July 1, 2013, the New Brunswick government
established an independent financial services regulatory agency,
aimed at strengthening consumer protection.
The New Brunswick Financial and Consumer Services
Commission has replaced the New Brunswick Securities Commission,
which regulates investments and has assumed responsibility for the
previous commission’s mandate and will also oversee consumer
affairs, credit unions, caisses populaires, co-operatives, trust
companies, insurance, pensions and enforcement.
I regularly provide updates on the Securities Act (New
Brunswick) and the related rules and regulations. If you are
