Message from Insurance Brokers Association of Canada

Given the ongoing situation related to the COVID-19 crisis and its impact on businesses and the economy as a whole, the Insurance Brokers Association of Canada (IBAC) is working closely with the Federal Government’s Small Business Directorate and Finance Canada, informing them of industry impacts and challenges, and accessing information that we can share with Member Associations for distribution to their brokers.

The following link provides the most up-to-date information on what government support is available to businesses and Canadians: Canada’s COVID-19 Economic Response Plan: Support for Canadians and Businesses 

IBAC also anticipates that additional measures and plans will be announced in the coming days and weeks. We will continue to represent your interests and concerns with federal government officials and decision-makers throughout this crisis. Please stay safe and let us know what more we can do to help.
