The Canadian Council of Insurance Regulators (CCIR) is an inter-jurisdictional association of regulators of insurance. Its mandate is to facilitate and promote an effective regulatory system in Canada to serve the public interest. CCIR works cooperatively with other financial services regulators to enhance consumer protection and to develop and harmonize insurance policy and regulation across jurisdictions.

As of April 1, 2007, the Chair of CCIR is Michael Grist, Deputy Superintendent of Insurance, British Columbia.  The Vice Chairs are Bob Christie, CEO and Superintendent of Financial Services, Ontario, Danielle Boulet, Surintendante, de l'encardrement de la solvabilité, Quebec and Doug Murphy, Acting Superintendent of Insurance, Nova Scotia. 

CCIR’s first strategic plan describes a vision for the organization five years into the future, outlining priorities and objectives in the areas of enhanced consumer protection, communications, and inter-jurisdictional cooperation.  To support these goals, CCIR established a permanent Secretariat.  Staffed by a policy manager and an administrative coordinator, the Secretariat  provides research, project management, technical and administrative support for CCIR’s initiatives. The Secretariat takes its direction from the CCIR Chair. The Secretariat has been fully operational since August 2000.
