FSRA Priorities
Posted on Oct. 12, 2023 / Rates / Fees, General Newsletter, SABS / FSRA / Subscribe 0
FSRA has released their 2024-2025 Statement of Priorities and an online consultation.
We encourage ORA members, other health service providers and other stakeholders in the auto sector to share their thoughts and questions with the regulator.
In our review of the priorities a few phrases caught our attention:
- According to Statistics Canada, inflationary pressures remain a significant issue.
- The cost of living continues to be an issue facing many Ontarians
- Some of FSRA’s regulated entities have flagged challenges around talent acquisition and retention.
Health Services Providers rates in the auto sector have not had a rate adjustment from the regulator for 10 years while steadily increasing insurance premiums have been approved. Auto body shops are able to charge at updated rates; why not the health care professionals who repair injured people? No other health care sector in Canada has been held to such outdated rates, unable to recover the costs of the pandemic, keep pace with inflation and attract and retain staff. A fair rate increase is long overdue and desperately needed.
