Exposé historique d’une question : le risque de tremblement de terre dans la province de Québec
No full textWe proposed to Mr. Gérard Parizeau, founder of our journal, to publish an article on earthquakes which appeared in Assurances in 1966. He was happy to grant us our wish, but did ask that we warn the
readers that many aspects covered in the article have changed considerably
since then, and also that reinsurance will present serious problems
as long as the tax authorities do not agree to set up reserves, spread over the desired number of years, to face the risks in question. We thank Mr. Parizeau, as we are convinced that the subject matter is still current, at least in general. Here are some extracts taken from two articles by the author and which were published in Assurances

sujet. –

Group and others who have been instrumental in simultaneously
aiding us to demystify computer systems and to demonstrate to us
the economic import thereof

Reinsurance in Canada: The Decisive Years Ahead
No full textVoici un article du président du Reinsurance Research Council du Canada, M. Robert Parizeau. Son travail paraît simultanément dans le présent numéro de notre Revue et dans celui de Canadian Insurance Magazine de juillet. L’auteur étudie les résultats de la réassurance au Canada en 1983. Il pose quelques jalons tendant à indiquer ce que sera 1984. Il parle également des amendements qui seront apportés à la Loi des assurances par le gouvernement fédéral. Finalement, il expose le travail accompli par le Reinsurance Research Council au Canada. Comme il le dit, ce groupe n’a pas pour objet de fixer les tarifs ou de déterminer les polices, mais simplement d’étudier les problèmes de la réassurance au Canada, afin d’en tirer les conclusions voulues et surtout afin de pouvoir présenter collectivement certaines modifications ou certains arguments aux surintendants des Assurances fédéral ou provinciaux. Il termine en rappelant que le Reinsurance Research Council collabore non seulement avec l’Institut des assurances du Canada, mais avec l’industrie dans son ensemble, comme le fait, en Angleterre, The Insurance Officers Association
