THE ONTARIO election call has left auto insurance reform legislation there in limbo — a turn of events that pleases critics of one of the bills while supporters are now clinging to the hope it will be revived no matter who runs Queen’s Park after the June 12 vote.
FAIR, the Association of Victims for Accident Insurance Reform, is relieved that the bill is being set aside. “This was a bill that our Liberal government was ramming through without adequate consultation or consideration for Ontario’s auto accident victims,” chair Rhona DesRoches said. “On April 30th this government allowed only two hours to consult with stakeholders on an issue that affects millions of Ontarians and represents billions of dollars in our economy.”
