     Know all by these presents, that the undersigned Bernard C. Bailey hereby
constitutes and appoints each of Craig Comeaux and Jay Bullock, or either of
them signing singly, and with full power of substitution, the undersigned's true
and lawful attorney-in-fact to:

     (1)   prepare, execute in the undersigned's name and on the undersigned's
           behalf, and submit to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
           (the "SEC") a Form ID, including amendments thereto, and any other
           documents necessary or appropriate to obtain codes and passwords
           enabling the undersigned to make electronic filings with the SEC of
           reports required by Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of
           1934 or any rule or regulation of the SEC;

     (2)   execute for and on behalf of the undersigned, in the undersigned's
           capacity as an officer and/or director of Argo Group International
           Holdings, Ltd. (the "Company"), Forms 3, 4, and 5 in accordance with
           Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules
           thereunder;

     (3)   do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the undersigned
           which may be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any such
           Form 3, 4, or 5, complete and execute any amendment or amendments
           thereto, and timely file such form with the SEC and any stock
           exchange or similar authority; and

     (4)   take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with the
           foregoing which, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact, may be of
           benefit to, in the best interest of, or legally required by, the
           undersigned, it being understood that the documents executed by such
           attorney-in-fact on behalf of the undersigned pursuant to this Power
           of Attorney shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and
