However, with the above analysis of trends and their own analyses, many spokespersons of the insurance industry are convinced that increases in frequency of extreme climate events is a contributing factor. The data shown in Table1 -2 and Figure 3 are neither comprehensive nor complete, but they serve to show the dramatic increase in some of the recent losses associated with extreme weather-related events in Canada. It must be recognized that most flood and drought losses are not insured commercially in Canada.... ..."
