Cannabis Webinar

February 15, 2022, 9:30 - 11:45 AM

The legalization of Cannabis in Canada has opened up a number of insurance issues that brokers need to be aware of.  During this webinar, participants will explore the new regulatory landscapes on all Government levels:

  • Federal (production of marijuana, operation of motor vehicles, heavy equipment and machinery, assessment of the technical aspect)
  • Provincial (sales and distribution of marijuana, understanding the patchwork rules, what is different provincially vs other jurisdictions) and
  • Municipal (applicable by-laws, tax implications) level.

Webinar Agenda

  • Review of the exposures associated with possession and use of cannabis in the following contexts:
    • Automobile liability – the coverage implications of legislation, state of technology for testing, roadside test pilot, new drug impaired offences
    • Social and commercial host liability – cannabis-related impairment, development of common law negligence
    • Personal lines underwriting – medical users and non-medical users, human rights considerations
    • Commercial lines underwriting – commercial property underwriting and claims considerations

This webinar is eligible for two (2) CE credits, and is presented in partnership with the Insurance Brokers Association of Manitoba (IBAM).
