The AMF certificate
Quebec trade rule for insurance and mortgage brokers.
The rule
No one may act as a representative, or present themselves as one, without a certificate issued by the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF, Quebec's financial markets regulator) (art. 12 of the LDPSF, Quebec's Act respecting the distribution of financial products and services, Loi sur la distribution de produits et services financiers). The mortgage broker is also a representative within the meaning of the law (art. 1 and 11.1). Ben never introduces himself as a broker and performs no reserved act.
