Hugh Donald Cameron, licensed since 1992 with the exception of a three-month period in 2017 when his license was cancelled for non-renewal, is being fined $500 for failing to meet his continuing education (CE) requirements for the 2024-2025 licensing period.
The Insurance Council of British Columbia (ICoBC) additionally ordered Cameron to complete the Council Rules Course for Life and/or Accident & Sickness Insurance Agents and the Continuing Education Requirements & Guidelines Course before September 8.
The shortfall was discovered during an audit of Cameron’s annual license renewal declaration where the council’s staff asked the agent to provide his CE records for the licensing period in question. It was determined that the agent had only completed 4.5 CE credits prior to submitting his renewal. The remaining credits were finished in June 2025, a mitigating factor in the case, according to the intended decision.
That Cameron accepted and acknowledged the misconduct and that he accepted the remedial action against him was warranted were also noted as mitigating factors. Similarly, Cameron’s cooperation was taken into consideration when determining if the agent should pay the council’s investigation costs. “In these circumstances, council has determined that no costs shall be assessed against the licensee,” the insurance council’s intended decision states.
