TORONTO, April 28, 2022 /CNW/ - Following the Ontario Budget, Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) issued this statement:
IBC applauds the Ontario government for its 2022 Budget – Ontario's Plan to Build. The government has put forward additional steps to complement its 2019 budget commitment to reform the auto insurance system. If implemented, these new measure are designed to give consumers more choice, reduce premiums, create fairness for drivers and introduce new measures to tackle fraud.
"Ontario drivers pay too much for car insurance, and this budget makes a bold commitment to improve a long-broken system," said IBC Ontario Vice-President Kim Donaldson. "Nearly every aspect of auto insurance in Ontario is regulated by the provincial government – but consumers are not benefiting. The measures announced in this budget would put drivers on the road to getting a better auto insurance product."
