Mr. Tisserand brings extensive experience in professional ethics and oversight, notably acquired through his previous role as syndic at the Chambre de l’assurance de dommages.

“The Board of Directors is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Tisserand as the first syndic of the Chambre de l’assurance, following a rigorous selection process. His inclusive leadership, innovative approach, and deep understanding of the regulatory framework are key assets in ensuring public protection. The Board is confident that Mr. Tisserand will actively contribute to maintaining rigorous and fair oversight of professionals in insurance and financial planning,” said Mario Albert, Chair of the Board of Directors of the Chambre de l’assurance.

To fulfill his responsibilities, Mr. Tisserand will rely on the complementary expertise of the teams from the two organizations that merged to form the Chambre de l’assurance. Bringing together specialists with diverse skills in finance, insurance, ethics, and investigative techniques, the Syndic’s Office will leverage their knowledge and experience to ensure fair and objective handling of inquiry requests, while maintaining operational efficiency.

The Board of Directors, management, and team of the Chambre de l’assurance wish to express their sincere gratitude to Ms. Julie Dagenais for her outstanding commitment to the Chambre de la sécurité financière over the past two decades.

“I would like to personally acknowledge the essential role Ms. Dagenais has played since the creation of the Chambre de l’assurance. I also thank her for her ongoing involvement in establishing a unified Syndic’s Office, which is not only indispensable but also a testament to her strong sense of duty,” said Chantal Lamoureux, President and CEO of the Chambre de l’assurance.
