Other IBAO activities include advocating on behalf of brokers to the government and regulators – on issues such as auto insurance fraud – and finding “consumer-friendly solutions that address the impact of severe weather,” says Brattman.
On the issue of auto fraud, Brattman says the ruling Liberals have introduced Bill 15, the Fighting Fraud and Reducing Automobile Insurance Rates Act, which IBAO has praised as a “good step” towards reductions in auto insurance premiums.
“We had some great success getting attention on the anti-fraud measures that were recommended two years ago,” Brattman says of advocacy efforts by IBAO.
