Ontario government plans
to expand the concept
of no-fault insurance
' Premier William 'Davis said
recently, that his government
plans to expand the no-fault
concept of • automobile in-
surance in the previxwe- and.
that it will continue to be run
by privateenterprise.
Speaking at the 54th annual
convention of the 2,200 member
Ontario . Insurance Agents' and
$rokers' Association, Davis
said that his government sees
merit in expanding the no-fault
system because "this could best
serve the 'consumer -in ex-
pediting settlement and the ad-
justment. of claims."
The Davis government has
yet to be convinced, however,
that automobile insurance in
the province should be 1"00 per
cent no-fault. •
Said Davis, "We have yet to
be persuaded that there would
be any merit in denying tort.
(fault) recovery in cases of pain,
and suffering, loss of amenities
of life, • and shortened expec,
tation of life."
Davis stated that his govern-
ment is in favour of a privately -
run automobile insurance in-
dustry in Ontario.
"Where these schemes are
government -run," he said,
"word seeps back of the won-
ders and savings to be obtained
by • the removal of "insurance
coverage from the private sec-,
tor. The people who spread this
word and perpetuate this myth
in Ontario are, not surprisingly,
members of the S-ocialist
brotherhood which introduced
the very same government -run
plans."
"Even a• cursory exainination
of premium costs and benefits,
to say nothing of hidden costs,
in Manitoba, Saskatchewan,
and British Columbia reveals
these people are either
deluding themselves or
deliberately misleading the
public by engaging'in some very
canny bookkeeping," he aa,4ed•
Davis said that the partial
no-fault system introduced in
Ontario in 1972 has been
working well. •
"We expect that the expan-
sion of .the present no-fault
sy .tem...w-i.11• .result in . better.
benefits at lower cost to the
consumer, and as a government
we are determined to see that
the consumer continues to get a
fair deal," the premier said.
