Canadian Securities Course (CSC) Practice Exam

The CDIC, or Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation, is responsible for protecting the deposits of Canadian citizens. Specifically, they provide deposit insurance coverage, which means that if a bank or financial institution fails, they guarantee to cover eligible deposits up to a certain amount. This ensures that Canadians' savings are protected and gives them peace of mind. Option A, regulating securities trading, is the responsibility of the Canadian Securities Administrators. Option B, ensuring the financial solvency of insurance firms, falls under the jurisdiction of the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions. Option D, enforcing investor protection laws, is the responsibility of the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada. These are important roles, but they are not the main responsibility of the CDIC.
