Earlier today, IBAS and the Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) sent a joint letter to Premier Scott Moe and several of his cabinet colleagues to underscore the essential role that the P&C insurance industry plays in protecting consumers, enabling the flow of commerce, and reinforcing the resiliency of communities, large and small. 

You can find a copy of that letter here.

This submission comes less than 24 hours after additional emergency measures were announced in Ontario and Quebec. In both jurisdictions, insurance was deemed an essential service.

Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have questions or concerns. You can also submit a question related to the COVID-19 crisis at any time using our simple online form.
