Privacy Laws Coming to Manitoba. ILS has the Training You Need To Understand the New Legislation

Privacy Laws Coming to Manitoba. ILS has the Training You Need To Understand the New Legislation

Manitoba has now joined BC, Alberta and Quebec by enacting personal information protection and identity theft laws.

On Sept. 13 Manitoba’s new Personal Information Protection and Identity Theft Prevention Act SM2013, C.17 received royal assent. The legislation applies to “every organization and in respect of all personal information.” The legislation relies on the basic principle that personal information may only be collected, used and disclosed with the informed consent of the individual involved and, in many ways, it mirrors the privacy laws in the other two western provinces.

These privacy laws do not apply to public bodies or to personal information under the control of a public body. Public bodies are generally covered by the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act . In addition, Manitoba also has a Privacy Act, which creates a cause of action for breach of privacy.

The legislation will fall under the umbrella of the Manitoba Ombudsman who is currently responsible for the FIPPA legislation. This privacy law creates offences for willfully collecting, using or disclosing personal information in contravention of the legislation or for willfully attempting to gain or gaining access to personal information in contravention of the legislation. It is also an offence to dispose or alter, falsify, conceal or destroy personal information or any record relating to personal information, or direct another person to do so, with an intent to evade a request for access to the information or the record.

Now is the time to make sure you understand how this legislation affects your workplace and how you manage clients’ information. ILScorp already includes privacy training courses as part of the general insurance course subscription package – these courses are free for all ILS subscribers.

Completing your privacy training with ILScorp means we will have a record on file of training for all brokers, should you ever need it. And of course, taking courses with ILS is fast, easy and fun!

The general insurance subscription package includes access to more than 160 accredited courses, worth more than 300 continuing education hours. With a wide variety of courses available, you’ll always find something of interest to you and your business.

Canadians Prefer to Buy Their Life Insurance Face-to-Face With Their Insurance Agent

Canadians Prefer to Buy Their Life Insurance Face-to-Face With Their Insurance Agent

Canadians indicate a strong preference for buying their life insurance in person, a recent LIMRA study revealed. The 2013 Canadian Life Insurance Ownership Study shows that 76% of Canadians would prefer to buy life insurance face-to-face rather than buying from work, on the Internet, by direct mail or by phone.

That was one of the key findings from the 2013 Canadian Life Insurance Ownership Study, which monitors long-term patterns in life insurance ownership, adequacy of coverage and consumers’ attitudes about life insurance.

“Our research found that six million Canadians believe they need more life insurance, and three-quarters of those we surveyed would prefer to buy it face-to-face,” says Cheryl Retzloff, senior research director for LIMRA.

Of the one in four Canadian households that prefer to purchase through other methods, the Internet was the most popular (11%), followed closely by workplace and by phone or mail. By comparison, in the United States, 43% of those surveyed said they prefer to buy through the Internet or by mail or phone.

The survey also finds that only 68% of Canadian households have any life insurance at all, compared with 79% in 2006. Life insurance ownership has declined in Canada, but with many Canadians indicating that they need more insurance, the industry has an opportunity to bolster sales.

“Since 2006, Canadians have lived through a recession resulting in less discretionary income for most people,” said Cheryl Retzloff, senior research director for LIMRA. “Given that environment, it’s not surprising to see overall life insurance ownership decline.”

Many Canadians recognize that they are underinsured, the survey shows. Married households with children under age 18 appear to be particularly vulnerable. Three quarters of respondents in this category said they would have difficulty with living expenses if a primary wage earner were to die.

The top factors holding consumers back from buying life insurance include a perception that it’s not affordable, and the fact that it’s considered a low priority.

Are you prepared to provide your life insurance clients with the best options? Can you guide them through the buying process and meet their needs, overcome objections, and well as your own professional goals? ILScorp offers online training for Canadian life insurance agents, including online continuing education credits, and courses specific to meet your needs.
