What’s New in Canada in 2026?

The LMA invites members to a fast-paced presentation on topics of interest to both claims and underwriting. The speaker will address:

• The political and economic developments that are reshaping the Canadian insurance market, including separation initiatives.
• 2025 coverage decisions that call for a policy wording revision.
• Why an inadequate defence of a liability claims creates exposure over the policy limits.
• New Canadian ‘forever chemical’ class action lawsuits and provincial ‘PFAS cost recovery’ legislation.
• Canadian directors and officers securities class actions: why is the frequency decreasing but severity increasing?
• The potentially broader reach of an employer’s vicarious liability for employee/volunteer acts of sexual abuse.
