Reference Group

The CUAC Reference Group is a consultative body that forms an important link between CUAC and consumers. At quarterly meetings and through informal liaison, the Reference Group advises CUAC on grassroots consumer issues and provides a forum for discussion of consumer policy.

The Reference Group comprises two sub-groups. The Domestic Issues Group focuses on low-income, vulnerable and disadvantaged consumers, while the Market Issues Group has particular expertise in market and competition issues.
