Yesterday, John Rustad issued a late-day press release committing to scrap David Eby’s Enhanced Care insurance system that has saved the average driver $500 a year and helped freeze rates for six straight years.

A recent study commissioned by the Alberta government shows drivers in that province pay far more than in no-fault systems like Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and British Columbia.
A separate study by Ernst & Young shows an 18-year old man in Alberta pays more than double than in BC.

Mike Farnworth, BC NDP Candidate:

"Rustad's plan pads the pockets of private insurance companies and expensive lawyers. Bringing costly lawyers back into the process would force people to battle in court and increase rates by $500 a year or more. That's a risk people can't afford."
