WHAT
IS THE VSA? |
|
|
The Motor Vehicle Sales Authority of British Columbia (VSA) is an administrative authority delegated by the provincial government to administer and enforce the Motor Dealer Act and its regulations, the Business Practices and Consumer Protection Act as it relates to the sale of motor vehicles, and other related statutes. Founded in 2004 and formerly named the Motor Dealer Council of B.C. (MDC), the agency became one of the first examples of the B.C. government's new approach for administering public policy through a "delegated administrative authority."
The VSA regulates and licenses approximately 1,700 motor dealers and 8,000 salespeople and consumer-related business staff of dealerships. The VSA works with both industry and the public with respect to business practices, regulation, enforcement, complaint resolution, dealership inspections, consumer services, legislation reviews, advertising guidelines and all related issues.
The provincial government maintains responsibility for all policy and legislation governing the licensing of motor dealers including any future changes to the Motor Dealer Act.
WHO IS THE VSA?
As a not-for-profit organization, the VSA is led by a Board of Directors made up of consumer and motor-dealer industry representatives and the general public. The 11-member Board is selected through an extensive nomination process that involves consumer and industry associations, government and the general public. The Board is responsible for establishing strategic direction and overseeing the operations of the VSA while ensuring its financial and organizational viability.
The President is the senior executive officer of VSA and the Registrar of Motor Dealers:
As President, he is accountable to the Board for leading and managing the Authority through the development and implementation of VSA strategies and policies, the management of its human resources, and the operations of the Council; and
As Registrar, he administers the Motor Dealer Act and appropriate sections of other legislation pertaining to the motor dealer industry and consumer protection.
