A new comprehensive and co-ordinated plan that addresses the
problems associated with the rising cost of driving in Ontario was
unveiled on September 15, 1989 by Murray Elston, Minister of Fi-
nancial Institutions.
The Ontario Motorist Protection Plan is a detailed reform package
that deals with the need for affordable automobile insurance in the
province. The plan was introduced as legislation on October 23,
1989, with implementation expected in 1990.
Guaranteed accident benefits will be available to all victims in-
jured in automobile accidents. The insured driver, regardless of
fault will receive guaranteed benefits from . his/her own insurance
company. These will include income replacement, compensation for
supplementary medical care, rehabilitation and ling -term care costs,
and death and.funeral benefits. People will sell have the opportunity
to sue in court for compensation if they have been seriously injured.
The plan recognizes that the underlying causes of higher insu-
rance rates - rising traffic volumes, accidents, injuries and claims -
must be addressed if premiums are to be held to reasonable levels in
the years to come.
As part of this comprehensive approach, the Ontario Motorist Pro-
tection Plan will initiate many new measures aimed at protecting
consumers and preventing- accidents. Deterrence, a key component
of the new system, will be toughened. Bad driving will be penalized
more than ever, and good driving rewarded. A new Insurance Com-
mission will regulate insurance companies, and protect consumers'
interests.
