Manitoba Agents Decide to Choose Own Auto Plan Path
The Insurance Agents Association of Manitoba opts to let members decide to opt in or out of the Manitoba government Autopac auto insurance plan. Agents face commission changes, with seven percent for basic coverage dropping to five by 1974 and 10 percent for supplementary coverage, while early term costs and paperwork loom. The plan starts March 1, 1972, offering no fault benefits and optional supplementary coverage through a crown corporation amid expected net losses for many agents.
