Background: Ontario government announces plan to reduce auto insurance rates by 15% within two years The newspaper’s report, based on unnamed sources, says that the Financial Services Commission of Ontario (FSCO), will formally announce the 4% drop on Wednesday. The report also quoted NDP MPP Jagmeet Singh, who said that the government is “nowhere near 15 per cent and they’re nowhere near the 8 per cent that they promised in one year,” referring to the promise of reaching an 8% average reduction by August 2014, and the full goal by August 2015.
