Montreal, December 4, 2019-The Chambre de la sécurité financière (CSF ) and Option consommateurs are delighted to announce the signing of a partnership agreement that will strengthen the collaboration between the two organizations. With this agreement, they will be able to join forces and, in so doing, better protect the public.
This partnership is possible because the two organizations have a similar mission.
Although our fields of expertise are different, we both work to protect citizens and defend their rights," says Christian Corbeil, General Manager ofOption consommateurs. "There are many issues on which we can work together.
Christian Corbeil and Marie Elaine Farley, President and CEO of the CSF, are delighted with this partnership. "Over the years, Option consommateurs has played a key role in providing consumers of financial products and services with tools and raising their awareness. For us, it was an obvious choice to support and collaborate with them," saysMe Farley. With this partnership, consumers will be better informed and, consequently, better protected."
Collaboration, certainly. But independence too. "It's mainly about joining forces where relevant," says Corbeil, "particularly to inform consumers about issues that concern both our organizations."
The mission of the Chambre de la sécurité financière is to ensure the protection of the public by overseeing the compulsory continuing education, ethics and discipline of its 32 members, who are financial security advisors, group insurance and group annuity advisors, group savings representatives, scholarship plan representatives and financial planners. www.chambresf.com
