Summary of Proposal:
The ministry is seeking input on proposals to modernize the insurance requirements under the Real Estate and Business Brokers Act for real estate salespersons and brokers.

Proposed amendments include:
- modernizing out-dated terminology;
- stipulating that registrants are required to pay the insurance deductible;
- providing for the submission of individual applications by a specified date
if an insurer requires it; and
- establishing prescribed minimum insurance coverage amounts.
