Since August 2000, FIRB has been part of various departments due to government restructuring, and as of October 2012, FIRB was merged into the Manitoba Financial Services Agency (MFSA). FIRB is responsible for administering The Insurance Act, The Credit Unions and Caisses Populaires Act and Part XXlV of The Corporations Act.
