ATLANTIC PREMIERS--Atlantic Insurance Harmonization Task Force Releases Report


Atlantic premiers today, Oct. 3, released the three-volume report from the Atlantic Canada Insurance Harmonization Task Force.

The task force, mandated by the premiers on June 27, was directed to examine a common Atlantic regulatory framework for private automobile insurance, study the public insurance option and complete an Atlantic Canada "model act" for all other types of insurance.

Atlantic premiers thanked the task force chair, Fred Morash, and the task force members appointed by the premiers.

Atlantic premiers will discuss regional approach options at the next meeting of the Council of Atlantic Premiers, following the Newfoundland and Labrador election.
