Ontario Auto Insurance Reform
In November 2010, the Insurance Bureau
of Canada (IBC) and the Ministry of Transportation (Ontario)
undertook what is called the "Uninsured Motor Vehicle Project".
By law all MTO licensed vehicles licensed for the road in
Ontario require insurance, this has not changed. However, the
new project undertaken by IBC and MTO will see the insurance
industry in Ontario share insurance information with the MTO.
The intent is for the MTO to be able to validate that anybody
renewing a plate or sticker is indeed insured using an
electronic database. Currently the vehicles affected are what
are classified as "Private Passenger Vehicles". For complete
information regarding the new program please visit the Insurance
Bureau of Canada website.
