Insurance Matters: Engagement with the Alliance for Insurance Reform

2:00 am

Mr. Brian Hanley:

We included it most recently in our submission on the new action plan for insurance reform. We hoped to see it included in the plan but it was not. The CCPC undertook a review of the liability market circa 2019 or 2020. It would seem timely now, five years on and with the benefit of all the reforms, to go back and see how many of its recommendations are outstanding and what changes have happened in the marketplace in the context of the reforms. It seems a very opportune time to do that and we thought the best place to push for it was in the action plan for insurance reform, but that did not happen.
