Richard Dubin

Vice-President, Investigative Services

As Vice-President, Investigative Services at Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC), Mr. Dubin leads a staff of 50 investigators, from across the country who focus on preventing, detecting and investigating organized insurance crime on behalf of IBC’s member insurance companies.

At IBC, Mr. Dubin works toward changing the Canadian legislative landscape to make it harder to commit insurance crimes and to protect Canadians from the costly and destructive effects. Guided by this focus, Mr. Dubin and his team are actively involved in government relations activities and foster partnerships to bring about these changes. For example, after several years of advocacy, Mr. Dubin and his team were instrumental in persuading the federal government to pass Bill S-9 – the Tackling Auto Theft and Property Crime Act – which changed the Criminal Code to make auto theft a specific offence with harsher penalties and to allow for an increased law enforcement presence at major Canadian ports to stop the exportation of stolen vehicles.

Mr. Dubin has over 25 years’ claims experience in the property and casualty insurance industry. He has a law degree from the University of Ottawa and holds a Chartered Insurance Professional (CIP) designation. He is a member of the Canadian Insurance Claims Managers Association and a past member of the board of directors for the Canadian Association of Special Investigation Units. He has also instructed insurance courses for the Insurance Institute in its continuing education program.
