If OMVIC determines a dealer's advertising to be false or misleading, what powers does OMVIC have?

  1. Nothing, OMVIC has no authority in this matter

  2. OMVIC may suggest changes

  3. OMVIC can issue a warning letter

  4. OMVIC may issue an order to stop or correct the advertising

The correct answer is: OMVIC may issue an order to stop or correct the advertising

OMVIC has the power to issue an order for a dealer to stop or correct their false or misleading advertising. This means that if OMVIC finds a dealer's advertising to be false or misleading, they can take action to ensure that it is corrected and that consumers are protected. Options A and B are incorrect because OMVIC does have authority in this matter and can do more than just suggest changes. Option C is also incorrect because a warning letter is not the extent of OMVIC's powers; they can take more concrete actions to address the issue.
