Ya I have no idea what the other provinces do. I know you guys think of Canada as one big happy family but the provinces are actually much more independent and self governing than even the individual Sates are. We can have some radical differences and Quebec is 100% guaranteed to do the polar opposite of what ever Ontario does just out of spite.
Looks like it is not the Government but the insurance board. The SAAQ is the insurance governing body.
Damn this is more fucked up than Florida!
Mandatory “No-Fault” Coverage under the Public Plan
In a vehicle collision, whether you are responsible or not, it’s the SAAQ that compensates you if you get injured. This is what is commonly called “pure no-fault”. In Québec, you can’t be sued as a result of a car collision, even if it involves a foreign visitor.
One Policy For All
In Québec, the auto insurance policy is a standard and unique policy. Its content is authorized by the
Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF). Every policyholder in Québec has the exact same contract. Your policy is therefore identical to that of your friend or neighbor.
