Who administers the Motor Vehicle Dealers Act (MVDA) on behalf of the Ministry of Government and Consumer Services?

  1. TADA

  2. UCDA

  3. OMVIC

  4. Automotive Business School of Canada

The correct answer is: OMVIC

The Motor Vehicle Dealers Act (MVDA) is administered by OMVIC, which stands for the Ontario Motor Vehicle Industry Council. OMVIC operates under the authority of the Ministry of Government and Consumer Services, ensuring compliance with the regulations that govern motor vehicle sales in Ontario. OMVIC's responsibilities include licensing dealers and salespeople, overseeing consumer protection, and enforcing the legislation related to fair trading practices in the automotive sector. This role is critical in maintaining industry standards and protecting consumers from unfair practices. The other organizations mentioned do not have the same administrative authority over the MVDA. For instance, TADA relates to the Toronto Automotive Dealers Association, which represents dealerships but does not administer the act. The UCDA, or Used Car Dealers Association, focuses on issues related to used car dealers and does not have the regulatory oversight that OMVIC possesses. The Automotive Business School of Canada provides education and training for automotive professionals but is not involved in the administration of the MVDA.
