These amendments will enable credit unions and caisses populaires to better serve their members, and will enhance the sector’s stability and competitiveness.
As part of the Act’s modernization, amendments were made that shift the responsibility of solvency regulation of credit unions and caisses populaires from FSCO to DICO.
