He highlighted the steady funding as critical for supporting FAIR’s ongoing efforts.
Jean-Paul Bureaud, FAIR Canada’s executive director, expressed appreciation for the OSC’s confidence in the organization, noting that the funding would allow them to advance their strategic initiatives.
“The OSC’s support is a vote of confidence that will help fuel our advocacy efforts for individual investors,” he said. He also stressed the need for a strong, independent advocate for Canadian investors amid evolving markets and complex regulations.
The Canadian Foundation for the Advancement of Investor Rights (FAIR Canada), established in 2008 during the global financial crisis, has been a key voice in promoting investor rights and public confidence.
The organization contributes through policy submissions to governments and regulators, identification of emerging issues, and public outreach. FAIR also engages in research to better understand the experiences and concerns of investors.
