Insurance
Arranging meeting between an individual and a public office holder for purpose of lobbying
Representing the interests of the automotive aftermarket industry, the ARA needs the support of the BC government with respect to policies of the Insurance Corporation of BC and its responsibility as a Crown Corporation to behave in a fair, equitable and transparent manner with respect to its policies regarding its relationship with suppliers. Specifically, the supply industries must have direct input into these policies, including the terms contained in its Material Damage Manual and how the Corporation establishes the rates it pays to suppliers. Another issue called "refusal to issue" concerns the towing industry and vehicle impounds. The OSMV has directed ICBC to implement a solution but ICBC is delaying.
