The Registrar

CARL COMPTON
Executive Director & Registrar

Over the course of a 20-year career with the Ontario public service, Carl filled a series of progressively responsible positions with the Ministry of Transportation and the Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations.

Carl joined the consumer ministry in the Registration Division and worked in senior positions in Real Property Registration Branch, Office of the Registrar General and Companies Branch. In 1991, he became Director, Entertainment Standards Branch and in 1993, was appointed the first Operations Director of the newly-formed Gaming Control Commission.

In 1994, Carl was appointed Director, Agency Relations Branch where he was responsible for corporate policy development, issues management, and corporate liaison for the consumer ministry’s agencies including LCBO, LLBO, Racing Commission, Gaming Commission, Film Review Board, Athletic Commission and Commercial Registration Appeals Tribunal.

In 1996, he became Director, Marketplace Standards and Services Branch of the Ministry where he directed a staff of 140, administering consumer protection legislation governing such commercial sectors as motor vehicle dealers, real estate, travel, cemeteries, collection agencies, bailiffs, theatres, film and video distributors, projectionists and professional boxing.

Long a champion of private sector involvement in the delivery of government services, he was a logical choice to become the first Executive Director and Registrar in 1997 under the new administrative authority model, for the Ontario Motor Vehicle Industry Council.
