A McPhillips Street insurance company could face suspension as an MPI 
broker and possible legal charges after hundreds of customers' personal 
documents were discarded in a Dumpster last weekend.

Manitoba Public Insurance is investigating why Weston Travel and Insurance 
Agencies did not properly destroy car insurance applications, filled-out 
travel itineraries and forms containing credit card numbers, home

suspend their business as a result.
