“The Insurance Council of Manitoba and its member councils perform a critical role by regulating licensees that sell insurance products,” said Finance Minister Cameron Friesen in a statement. “This protects Manitoba consumers and ensures agents, brokers and adjusters act ethically, and with integrity and competence.”

According to a statement, the appointments and reappointments were:
 
  • Harvey Armstrong of Dauphin was reappointed as a General Insurance Council board member
 
  • Irwin Kumka of St. Andrews was appointed to the board of the General Insurance Council
 
  • Richard Fillion of Winnipeg was reappointed to the board of the Life Insurance Council
 
  • Gary McPherson of Winnipeg was reappointed to the board of the Life Insurance Council
 
  • Andy Anderson of Niverville was appointed to the board of the Life Insurance Council
 
  • Robert Filuk of Winnipeg was reappointed to the board of the Insurance Adjusters Council
 
  • Mark James of Winnipeg was reappointed to the board of the Insurance Adjusters Council

The General Insurance Council is responsible for making decisions related to general insurance agents. In the same capacity, the Life Insurance Council supervises life insurance agents. The Insurance Adjusters Council oversees matters relating to independent insurance adjusters.
