If the Insurance Act and/or Regulations thereunder requires that the EDB plan be payable under an insurance contract by a licensed insurer, the company will work with a licensed insurer to understand the changes required for the EDB plan to become insured. Except to the extent changes to the EDB plan are required to comply with the Insurance Act and/or Regulations thereunder, the company and the union must mutually agree to changes to be implemented to ensure the entire EDB plan becomes fully insured (and compliant with the Act and/or Regulations).
