September 06, 2022
Consent Awareness Week Act, 2022
  • This bill, called the Consent Awareness Week Act, 2022, aims to address the issue of sexual violence and consent in Ontario. Recent events, such as allegations of group sexual assault by a hockey team and high-profile sexual assault cases, have highlighted the urgent need for action. Only 28% of Canadians fully understand consent, and social factors like race, ability, gender, sexuality, and class influence how consent is given and received. Not understanding consent can lead to sexual harassment and assault, with approximately 636,000 self-reported cases of sexual assault in Canada each year, 41% of which involve post-secondary students. Consent education is important for all genders, as 15% of girls and women and 9% of boys and men between 14 and 21 have experienced forced sexual acts by a peer. Ontario will be the first jurisdiction in Canada to recognize and adopt Consent Awareness Week, which will be held during the third week of September each year. The week aims to encourage conversations about consent, celebrate its importance in all relationships, and teach valuable life skills related to consent. The Act comes into force on the day it receives Royal Assent.

Ontario Bill 12

43rd Parl. 1st Sess.
August 25, 2022
Ending Automobile Insurance Discrimination in the Greater Toronto Area Act, 2022
  • This is a law called the Ending Automobile Insurance Discrimination in the Greater Toronto Area Act, 2022. It aims to prevent discrimination in automobile insurance rates in the Greater Toronto Area. Currently, people in Ontario pay the highest automobile insurance rates in Canada, and some pay more for insurance than their mortgage. The law wants to end the practice of using postal codes to determine insurance rates, as it leads to high premiums. The law prohibits insurers from using risk classification systems that consider the geographic region where a person lives as a factor in determining rates. It also prohibits insurers from offering different rates based on different municipalities or areas within the Greater Toronto Area. The law defines the Greater Toronto Area as the City of Toronto and the regional municipalities of Durham, Halton, Peel, and York. The law will come into effect once it receives Royal Assent.
