The public is invited to express its opinion on the increase in the contributions to the automobile insurance plan.Québec City, March 3, 2006 – Bill 55, adopted in 2004, transferred the responsibility of keeping the financing of the insurance plan in good order to the Société de l’assurance automobile du Québec. The bill also made provision for the public to be consulted as soon as an increase in contributions is contemplated. The Panel of Experts on automobile insurance contributions was created for the purpose of holding such a consultation. The Panel must make its recommendations to the Société once the consultation process is complete. A notice was published to this effect in the Gazette officielle du Québec on March 1, 2006 and will soon be published in other daily newspapers as well. This notice invites individuals and groups to present a submission to argue their position. Public hearings will be held in Montréal from May 8 thru May 10, 2006, as well as in Québec City from May 15 thru May 17, 2006 for the presentation and discussion of the submissions. The consultation mainly deals with the financing of the automobile insurance plan and with the approach used to determine the contributions and their distribution among the different categories of road vehicles and users. The main object of the mandate awarded to the Panel of Experts is to examine the increase in the contributions proposed by the Société. The Panel invites those who have comments, suggestions and recommendations on any other aspects of the plan to express them to the appropriate authority. All individuals and groups are invited to take part in the public consultation starting now.
