Description

Treasury Board and Finance has commissioned Oliver, Wyman Limited and Nous Group to conduct separate but complementary reports to guide long-term automobile insurance reforms.

By considering both aspects, the government can gain a comprehensive understanding of the potential trade-offs between short-term financial costs and long-term economic sustainability.
