The Joint Forum of Financial Market Regulators held its Annual Meeting in Montreal, Quebec on April 15th, bringing together members of the Canadian Council of Insurance Regulators (CCIR), Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA), Canadian Association of Pension Supervisory Authorities (CAPSA), and representatives from other financial sector bodies. The plenary session featured presentations from OECD and National Institute on Ageing researchers on retiree financial security and retirement preparation. Forum participants emphasized the importance of regulatory cooperation across intersecting financial sectors to better support Canadians navigating retirement. Financial services firms operating across insurance, securities, and pension sectors should note this renewed regulatory focus on retiree financial outcomes. The forum highlighted that retirees often rely on financial products spanning multiple regulated sectors, signalling continued cross-sector coordination among Canadian regulators on retirement planning issues.
