I support public car insurance in British Columbia because...

Car insurance isn’t just about the car. It’s about people’s safety and the care that people need when something goes wrong.

Public car insurance creates local jobs and significant investments in municipalities through road safety and improvement, and community grants while providing greater control to municipalities to plan for risks and costs.

B.C.’s new Enhanced Care Model will reduce rates for drivers and provide support to people who have been in accidents without forcing them to go through lengthy and expensive court fights.

Jurisdictions with private insurance options have experienced significant rate hikes year after year while accident benefits dramatically decline. In some provinces, that means lots of people aren’t insured at all, putting everyone at risk.

I support public car insurance to reduce rates and improve accident coverage, keeping jobs and local investments in British Columbia.
