“We are pleased the Supreme Court of Canada has decided not to hear this case, therefore finally putting to rest any questions about the constitutional validity of Alberta’s auto insurance system and helping ensure auto insurance remains affordable and accessible for Albertans.

“We believe we have a well-functioning auto insurance system that strikes a fair balance between those who pay insurance premiums and those who are injured in automobile accidents.

“The unanimous decision by the Alberta Court of Appeal, which is now the final word on the case, supports this and confirms that the province’s auto insurance system responds to the needs and circumstances of those suffering minor injuries.

“The decision by the Alberta Court of Appeal also recognizes government’s legitimate concern with the affordability of insurance, the potential increase of uninsured drivers, and the need to ensure accessibility to treatment.”
