Let’s be clear: the Insurance Bureau of Canada represents insurers and their shareholders. Those interests lie in maximizing the return on equity. Most reasonable people might conclude that the core mandate of the insurance industry is not just incompatible with the consumer interest but diametrically opposed to the interests of consumers. Real consumer advocates, like the people at FAIR, are those who have been through the system and have some valuable advice and lessons for others who at this point do not even know that they will be in an accident one day. They are the ones who have nothing to gain at this point and even shoulder some risk in speaking up to a powerful industry lobby. That’s the definition of a real consumer advocate.
