Cardy tells CHSJ News average annual premiums would drop by 20 per cent to just under a thousand dollars and the province would make a couple of million dollars profit each year and the province would make a couple of million dollars profit each year.
Cardy argues public auto systems don’t discriminate based on age or gender but set rates according to your driving record.
