Stakeholder Advisory Committees

FSRA launched Stakeholder Advisory Committees (SAC) in 2019. They serve as consultation groups to FSRA’s Board and are an important part of FSRA's stakeholder engagement process. They provide feedback and guidance on FSRA's priorities, and budget, and other matters as the Board deems appropriate.

FSRA appoints new members of the Stakeholder Advisory Committees through a call for members initiative.

Consumer advisory panel

FSRA’s Consumer Advisory Panel provides a consumer perspective to help inform FSRA’s work. Working closely with our Consumer Office and executive team, the Panel advises FSRA on proposed policy changes and related activities, including consumer-based research, policy support and consumer outreach. It helps to ensure that the perspectives of consumers (including pension beneficiaries, credit union members and the general public) inform our direction and decisions, a key priority for FSRA.

Visit the Panel’s webpage to find more information about its activities, membership and Terms of Reference.

Rate Regulation Advisory Group

The Rate Regulation Advisory Group (RRAG) was an advisory group created to assist in the establishment of principles that would guide FSRA’s rate regulation activities but also was instrumental in the formation of a new Standard Filing process. With the release of this guidance in October 2019, the RRAG completed its mandate.
