- 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.
