Finance Minister Joe Oliver names Jeremy Rudin new OSFI superintendent
– canadianbusiness.com
OTTAWA – The federal government has named Finance Department official Jeremy Rudin as the new policeman for financial institutions in Canada, replacing Julie Dickson whose seven-year term is expiring.
The choice of Rudin, currently assistant deputy minister in the financial sector policy branch, was a bit of a surprise in that he has kept a low profile since joining the public service in 1993.
One name that had been touted as a possible next head of the Office of Superintendent of Financial Institutions was Andrew Kriegler, currently deputy superintendent of the supervision section at the agency.
But analysts said Rudin enjoyed a solid reputation at Finance and was regarded as a potential deputy minister.
“Jeremy Rudin is a distinguished public servant. He has extensive direct experience in the oversight of financial institutions, financial system stability and financial markets,” Finance Minister Joe Oliver said in announcing the appointment Friday.

Don’t cancel that insurance policy yet!

(iStock)Think twice about scrapping or trading in an existing disability or critical illness insurance policy, warns financial planner Rona Birenbaum. You could wind up tens of thousands of dollars poorer. One of Birenbaum’s clients was persuaded by an insurance agent to switch a critical illness policy for long-term care coverage. What the client didn’t realize is that she was eight years into a plan that offered a return of all premiums paid if no claims were made after a decade. Had the client paid the $1,640 annual premiums for two more years, she would have walked away with $16,400. Always ask your agent or insurance company to email you a summary explaining the repercussions of cancelling a policy.
