In addition, an Expression of Interest seeking an independent third-party expert has been posted on the BC Bid website.

The review will identify key factors impacting basic insurance rates and provide a range of options available to limit future basic rate increases to the rate of inflation.

The Board plans to have the third-party selected and the review started by mid-March with a preliminary report done in June.
