TWST: The lines continue to blur. Will you begin today's discussion with a description of the life insurance industry sector, Andrew Oliver?
Mr. Oliver: Life insurance companies continue to provide life insurance; they sell annuities, they sell health insurance and they're moving towards becoming financial service companies. As you say, the blurring continues.

TWST: Michelle, how much can we still describe this life insurance industry as driven by the sale of protection?
Ms. Giordano: I think new sales are increasingly coming from retirement savings products such as annuities, which protect individuals for the risk of living too long and moving away from death protection products, such as life insurance, to protect from the risk of dying too young.

TWST: Sandra?
Ms. Pagel: Where protection is provided, it's now provided primarily in a pure term insurance policy form rather than through the traditional ordinary whole life product which was a combination of a fixed income account with protection.
