Thank you for the question.
Yes, we have seen a lot of statistics that would support that assertion. For instance, we've seen, between 2015 and 2023 specifically, increases in claim counts within Ontario in the amount of 83%. In Alberta it's 88%, and for the Atlantic region collectively it's 86%. When we talk specifically about claims costs, the costs of these accidents, we've also seen increases there. From 2015 to 2023, it's the same situation: Ontario has an increase of 89%. For Alberta, it's 166%, and for the Atlantic region collectively, it's 82%.
Unfortunately, we don't have data for the other jurisdictions, but from what we can see there are systemic issues in Canada.
