Alberta NDP drafts bill to freeze auto insurance rates for a year

The Alberta NDP says they have an idea to tackle sky-high auto insurance rates that they blame the UCP government for doing nothing about. The Official Opposition's justice critic, Irfan Sabir, says his private member's bill, called Bill 206 – the Insurance (Private Passenger Vehicle Premium) Amendment Act – would free car insurance rates for a period of one year. "The bill suspends the authority of the auto insurance rate board to approve rate increases of more than zero per cent,"
