Ontario Motor Vehicle Industry Council
OMVIC (Ontario Motor Vehicle Industry Council) is a council that regulates motor vehicle sales, administers and enforces the Motor Vehicle Dealers Act on behalf of the Ontario Ministry of Government and Consumer Services (MGCS) in Ontario. OMVIC's mandate is to maintain a fair and informed marketplace, by protecting the rights of consumers while enhancing the professionalism of the industry, and ensuring fair, honest, and open competition for registered motor vehicle dealers. OMVIC has been embroiled in several controversies in the past few years, related to the integrity of its leadership and its willingness to help consumers.
