Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
It's a great question. The demographics of the broker channel are very similar to the demographics across the small business community. We have a number of businesses and a number of business owners who are, or will soon be, at the stage of considering a business transfer.
This bill provides a wonderful opportunity to level the playing field and to ensure that the significant number of insurance brokerages that are family owned across the country can consider the sale within the context of their family. We think this is absolutely critical.
I know Robyn may have some of her own personal experience to share as well.
