I am delighted you have joined us in Montréal for this year’s meeting. The organizers have put together a great program of sessions and activities. In addition to the opportunity to attend topical and interesting professional development sessions, the meeting provides a unique chance for you to interact with your colleagues and share ideas and experiences. It is through all these experiences that we become better professionals. I would encourage you to take full advantage of all these two days have to offer, and I look forward to seeing you.

Aside from world-class culture, Montréal has more than enough infrastructure to keep us transported, fed, and sheltered: • Most taxis per capita in Canada (major cities); • Most restaurants per capita in Canada (major cities); and • 15,200 hotel rooms. On June 20–21, Montréal will also have the most actuaries per capita in Canada (ignoring very small towns!). That is when the city will host the CIA’s Annual Meeting at the Hilton Montréal Bonaventure. I encourage you to join me there. You will learn important information and make valuable connections. Your attendance will also enhance the meeting for other participants; we would love to hear what you are working on. The Committee on Continuing Education and the CIA Head Office have done an excellent job organizing sessions of interest to actuaries in all practice areas. Covering both technical and non-technical topics, they will be relevant and useful in your work, and range from established areas of practice to areas on the horizon. I am excited about our keynote speaker, Eric Garland. His presentation, “Tales from the Unexpected Future”, will explore the limits of our predictive abilities. He is a veteran strategic analyst who has performed forecasting for some of the biggest corporations and governments, from Coca-Cola to the Principality of Monaco. An exciting two days await you. Attendance and engagement by actuaries at the Annual Meeting makes us better as professionals and a profession, so please consider taking part. I look forward to seeing you.

He writes based on his 15 years (and counting) of working in competitive intelligence, strategic analysis, and futurism for executives in corporations and governments. He is constantly considering how leaders of organizations think about the future, the information they need to plan their next move, the tools they use to inspire the imaginations of others, and the difficulties they encounter along the way. Mr. Garland’s point of view is informed by consulting with executives at corporations and government agencies on what to do about future trends. His clients were a variety of major organizations, ranging from Siemens, Energizer, Coca-Cola, and Cardinal Health to the governments of France, South Dakota, Charlotte (North Carolina), and the Principality of Monaco. He is the author of two books that deal with future trends and how leaders understand them to make the decisions that affect the whole world: • Future Inc: How Businesses Can Anticipate and Profit from What’s NEXT (Amacom, 2007) is the first book of its kind, telling the reader exactly how to execute a professional-level study of future trends, based on the techniques pioneered by the Rand Corporation, the U.S. Department of Defense, the Shell scenarios group, and others. • How to Predict the Future…and What To Do About It So You WIN!!! is a satirical look at why foresight is so difficult in modern business culture. In it, Mr. Garland skewers modern business publishing and its desire for easy answers, shallow father figures, and a slavish devotion to fads as a replacement for wisdom, insight, and decisive action about our collective futures. He uses sarcastic humor to critique the relationship between futurists and corporate executives. He is currently a freelance writer and speaker, contributing to a variety of online and print publications and providing commentary on world events to broadcasters such as Al Jazeera English, Russia Today, the History Channel, and the BBC. He is also working on a third book about what he calls “the Transition”, the strategic trends that are likely to make the twenty-first century much different from the twentieth—stay tuned! Mr. Garland, who speaks a variety of languages, is also a professional musician with over 20 years’ experience playing live and recording in genres ranging from salsa to celtic and jazz funk. For more than a decade, he has been speaking to audiences about the chaotic transformations going on in the world, and relishes the opportunity to keep people focused on positive outcomes. 9 2013 CIA Annual Meeting Master of Ceremonies MARC-ANDRÉ MOREL Master of Ceremonies, June 20-21 Marc-André Morel is a rising star among North America’s public speakers who has delivered over 1,000 inspirational, educational, and entertaining sessions to English and French corporate audiences across Canada, the U.S., and Europe. A past president of the Montréal chapter of the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers, he delivered his first motivational keynote speech at the age of 15 to 1,200 people. After earning a degree in commerce from Concordia University, he accumulated several coveted corporate sales and leadership awards, including the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada’s Leadership Award for his professional excellence and outstanding community contribution. Dedicated to make a difference for adults and young people, he is the founder of the Morel Leadership Centre for Youth. His own personal and inspiring story is featured in the acclaimed Chicken Soup for the Canadian Soul, and he is the bestselling author of French versions of The Fifth Season: Manifesting Your Destiny with Simplicity and Energy for Life: Finding and Keeping Motivation at the Gym. www.cia-ica.ca 10 Guest Speakers Maciej Augustyniak PhD student Université de Montréal Session 6 – Hedging Long-Term Insurance Risks Antoine Aylwin partner Fasken Martineau DuMoulin Session 21 – Mock Trial - Pension T.

Room: Salon Bonaventure Pension Group Life & Health, Investment June Smyth (FCIA), senior consultant actuary, Baynes & White Malcolm Hamilton (FCIA) Robert L. Brown (FCIA) Are Canadians retiring later than they were 10 years ago? What about 20 or 30 years ago? We know that trends change over time. Part of this is influenced by demographics. Part is affected by immigration, the job market, and fertility rates. Should the Canadian retirement age be increased from 65? What does it mean to retire? Many seniors are now taking on part-time jobs in retirement. Other countries are considering changes or have already made them. In this session, Rob Brown—Chair of the CIA Task Force on Retirement Age—will be speaking with task force member Malcolm Hamilton about their findings in a recently-released paper. How do the changes in retirement patterns affect our social systems and what future changes would the CIA recommend to Canada’s leaders?

Session 10 Practice Area: Moderator: Speaker: Model Validation: Know Your Audience and Second Iteration Room: Fontaine F P&C Stacey Ling Bai (FCIA), manager, actuarial, The Dominion Robert Sanche*, assistant vice-president, research & development, Travelers As predictive modelling takes off in the insurance community, companies are facing the growing realization that building and implementing the second iteration of a model can be just as challenging as the first. The first part of this talk, “Know Your Audience”, addresses model validation from two perspectives (the modeller and senior management) and focuses on the first iteration of a model and the basics. The second part, “Seconds Anyone?”, looks at the second model iteration and addresses the concerns of the same two constituencies. For modellers, the speakers will explore the added challenges in validating the model and what techniques can be used to compare it to the previous version. For senior management, they will discuss how one should view disruption in the context of incremental changes to the rating plan.

That's the conclusion of Eric Garland, a veteran strategic analyst who has forecasted for some of the world's biggest corporations and governments, from Coca-Cola to the Principality of Monaco, for more than 15 years. To help us see the limits of our predictive abilities, he will bring funny observations and instructive stories about how we get predictions wrong. From our perennial expectation that information technology will create world peace to the ever-expanding complexities of science and scandalous cross-cultural product names, the history of the future shows us where we get it wrong, and why. In a world where the failure of risk analysis can have serious implications, this presentation will show the lighter side of our intellectual journey, and ways in which we can improve our thinking about the future. 17 *Not a member of the CIA. 2013 CIA Annual Meeting Thursday, June 20 Detailed Program 14:45 – 16:00 Concurrent Sessions Session 14 Ethical Decision-Making for Actuaries Practice Area: Relevant to: Moderator: Speakers: General Business & Professionalism All Michel Simard, Executive Director, Canadian Institute of Actuaries Chris Fievoli (FCIA), resident actuary, Canadian Institute of Actuaries Michel Simard Room: Fontaine GH Had enough of mortality studies and standards of practice?
