Consultation on Modernizing Disciplinary Hearings for Insurance Agents and Adjusters in Ontario

The paper entitled Modernizing Disciplinary Hearings for Insurance Agents and Adjusters in Ontario:  A Proposal for Consultation [PDF Document]​ outlines how a new model could operate and requests comments from stakeholders.
