Established in 1964, Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) is the voice of companies that insure the homes, cars and businesses of Canadians. IBC member companies provide close to 90 percent of the non-government general insurance sold in Canada. Government auto insurers also participate with private insurers in IBC vehicle information programs. As the trade association for the general insurance industry, the role of IBC is to be active in the business environment on behalf of its members, forecasting and responding to issues that may arise, and anticipating opportunities to identify, shape and influence change in support of members business needs. IBC lobbies the federal and provincial governments to secure changes in public policy and improvements in the business-operating environment that will benefit insurance companies and their customers. It works on a number of fronts to increase public understanding of home, car and business insurance. Public understanding is also fostered in four IBC regional consumer centres, where trained personnel with many years of industry and government relations experience answer tens of thousands of consumer inquiries each year.
