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. While Oliver Wyman’s report provides insights into the financial implications of reform options, the analysis by Nous delves deeper into the broader effects on the economy, employers and government finances.

Consideration of both the economic impacts and actuarial costs of potential reforms is crucial for informed decision making.
