I-C-B-C has received interim approval from the B-C Utilities Commission for a 6.3 per cent hike in basic insurance rates. The public auto insurer says the new rates will apply to new and renewed policies effective on or after April 1st. Attorney General David Eby says the government is undertaking a historic modernization of the auto insurer to make rates fairer. But B-C Liberal Leader Andrew Wilkinson called for a complete overhaul of the 45-year-old public auto insurer after the proposed rate increase.
