Provincial budget and insurance sector impacts

affiché le 5 avril 2017

On March 28, the Quebec government unveiled its 2017-2018 budget. Which provisions concern our sector? The RCCAQ has prepared this overview of certain aspects that could have an impact on your business!

• The government recognizes that the use of new technologies has been challenging for multiple financial sector organizations, including insurers, regulatory authorities and brokerage firms. Consequently, the regulatory framework for the insurance sector will be updated.

• The government hopes to protect policyholders' privacy. In this regard, it will be looking into industry use of "big data".

• Group insurance and condominium insurance are other pressing issues.

• The issue of firms' ownership limits will also be looked into by the government.

Needless to say, the RCCAQ's efforts to lobby decision makers are a key part of defending your interests. That's why we will be taking steps to ensure that each issue affecting the insurance sector is closely monitored and that the necessary representations are made.
