The Chambre de l'assurance de dommages (Damage Insurance Chamber) in Quebec (Canada) was created under section 284 of the "Act respecting the distribution of financial products and services" (RSQ, (C) D-9.2) at the same time of the creation of the Chambre de la sécurité financière (Québec) (Chamber of Financial Security).

The Discipline Committee shall hear any complaint made by the trustee against a professional. Complaints may come from a consumer or from any member of the "Chambre de l'assurance de dommages". Thus, a consumer who feels wronged or a representative who is a witness to non-ethical practices may apply directly to the "Chambre de l'assurance de dommages" or the Information Center of the Autorité des marchés financiers (Québec).
In 2002, the Coalition for the Promotion of the Damage Insurance Professions (Coalition) was set up on the initiative of the "Chambre de la sécurité financière". The entire insurance industry then mobilized by associating itself with this cause, its program and its activities. The mission of this coalition is to attract more candidates to career opportunities in property and casualty insurance and to enhance the image of the professionals who work there.
The Coalition's Board of Directors consists of 13 executive directors from various organizations or categories of members. Maya Raic, President and CEO of the "Damage Insurance Chamber", is a member of the Board of Directors.
