| Subject: | Temporary change for Business Interruption Insurance during the COVID-19 pandemic |
In the near future I plan on introducing legislation to address the concerns around business interruption insurance during the COVID-19 pandemic.
As the realities of the COVID-19 pandemic set in, it has come to my attention that a provision included in many business insurance policies prohibit payments on claims if a loss is to do an outbreak during a public health emergency.
This provision has potential to harm businesses which are already facing uncertain times.
