The Secondary Professional Liability Insurance Program assists the engineering and geoscience licensing bodies in their mandate to uphold and protect the environment and the safety and interests of the public. It enhances self-regulation for both the engineering regulators and individual engineers, and enables engineers and geoscientists to seek advice in whistleblower situations. All individual engineers and geoscientists in good standing with a participating provincial or territorial regulator are insured. They are also covered as mentors helping other less-experienced individuals develop specific skills and knowledge that will enhance professional and personal growth.
