Submission to Ontario Ministry of Finance Re: Proposed amendments to the Insurance Act
Release Date: 09/09/2024 Staff Reference: Joan WeirCurrently life and health insurers provide health and disability income benefits first to Ontarians injured in motor vehicle accidents, prior to any benefits paid out by auto insurance. Ontario's consultation considers potentially reversing the order of payment and/or making some benefits optional. The CLHIA and members provided comment back to Ontario on these proposals in 2023 and appreciate the opportunity to confirm our position once again.
