What’s New: In Brief (March 27, 2009)

Danielle Boulet has been appointed chair of the Canadian Council of Insurance Regulators (CCIR).
Boulet, who is the superintendent of solvency for the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF), served as CCIR vice-chair for the past two years.
“It is with enthusiasm that I step into this role with a commitment to move forward with the objectives set out in CCIR’s Strategic Plan so that we can pursue the development and implementation of harmonized regulation and enhance consumer protection, a task that is particularly essential given the current economic environment,” Boulet noted in a release. “It is critical for an organization such as CCIR to help strengthen financial market stability and foster efficient market growth. We must adapt to an ever-changing industry to ensure greater protection of consumers of insurance products and services.”
