By how much remains to be seen, according to Times & Transcript. “The specific amount of how much will be based on a three-month review upon taking office,” Jody Carr, MLA for Oromocto is quoted as saying in Times & Transcript. Carr is the opposition critic for areas of interest relating to justice and consumer affairs; attorney general; courts of New Brunswick; New Brunswick Credit Union Deposit Insurance Corporation; New Brunswick Insurance Board; Office of the Consumer Advocate for Insurance; Office of the Conflict of Interest Commissioner and policy development. “We want to be responsible rather than just pull a number out of a hat,” Carr said in the Times & Transcript. “We want to make sure it’s a responsible cap so we don’t see an increase in rates.” MANITOBA REGULATOR REQUIRES BROKERS TO HAVE AN E&O FRAUD ENDORSEMENT Manitoba licensed insurance agents are now required to have an endorsement that covers fraud and dishonest acts as part of their mandatory errors and omissions insurance.
