CORRECTION (July 01, 2010)

A statement made in the cover story published in the May 2010 edition of Canadian Underwriter, ‘Riverboat Gambling,’ incorrectly states this is the first time Ontario has introduced consumer choice in the auto insurance product.

As one reader pointed out, a flyer entitled ‘Your Choice’ was issued in 1996 for Bill 59. The flyer contained information provided by RIBO and appears to be very similar in appearance to the ‘More Choice’ flyer outlining the changes effective Sept. 1, 2010). In 1996, as in 2010, the consumer had a choice to buy back coverage that had been reduced.

Canadian Underwriter apologizes for the error.
