The AMF is 20! A constantly changing industry, a continuously adapting organization

Over the past 20 years, Québec’s financial sector has undergone major transformations that have reshaped consumer habits and, in so doing, fundamentally changed how the industry interacts with its clients. These transformations have also required industry participants to demonstrate an exceptional level of adaptability and resilience.

“The pan-national CSA structure was formalized over 20 years ago, and it has withstood many challenges over the years. We exercise rigour and take a measured approach, considering all regions of Canada. While the landscape looks different today, the commitment of CSA members to maintain fair and efficient capital markets and improve, coordinate, and harmonize regulation across Canada has never changed. The Autorité des marchés financiers has played a critical role in strengthening the CSA, and in contributing to all that we have achieved over time. I respect my colleagues at the AMF, and thank them for their leadership and collaboration. Congratulations on celebrating 20 years!”
