FSRA is launching public consultation on its proposed 2025-26 Statement of Priorities and budget.

FSRA’s proposed priorities continue to protect consumers in the most cost-effective ways possible. To achieve that objective, the Statement of Priorities sets out key sector initiatives along with a budget that is responsible. These include strengthening stakeholder relations and improving consumer-focused outcomes, enhancing licensing efficiency and effectiveness, and modernizing systems and processes.

The Statement of Priorities will form the core of our Annual Business Plan, which will then be submitted to the Minister of Finance for approval. The financials included in the Statement of Priorities are draft and will be revised as part of the Annual Business Plan Process.

Consultation is an essential part of FSRA's commitment to transparency and accountability. This ensures that FSRA’s plans for the upcoming fiscal year reflects stakeholder feedback.

FSRA is now seeking feedback on its proposed 2025-26 Statement of Priorities and budget. The consultation will close on December 6, 2024.

In order for health care providers and consumers alike in the MVA realm to continue to provide/receive quality care, rates listed in the Professional Services Guidleine for healthcare providers NEED to be increased substantially - healthcare providers have not had a raise since 2014. I don't know anyone who has not had a raise in 10 years!! It is disgraceful. I, like many, are choosing to reduce or completely stop providing service for MVA clients. Insurers expect us to do more and more, but not get paid for it, and approve less and less. Insurers continue to make claimants and providers jump through more hoops and go through more red tape. Likewise, all of us as consumers pay a lot of money to insure our vehicles, then when we need them, they do not want to cover us, all while insurance companies make billions in profit. The wasted time on delayed approvals, assessments, and denials are wasteful and keep people in the system, instead of getting better and back to work/life. We have all had enough and quite frankly, should strike. Since there is no union, that will not happen, but I do plan to cease providing services in 2025 for MVA cases.

It seems to me that subject to your budget funds that limit priorities to a depth of involvement the upcoming challenge whether you like it or not is what effect artificial intelligence will have on fraud, the prevention of fraud, office procedures & various decisions to generate unbiased & visually fair results. Needless to say, the bad actors can pay larger sums of money to smarter people who can create faster & faster programs that can see relationships. The downside of human nature is that we’re a pattern-based herd species that run on patterns learned from parents, school & life experiences. This means we're more interested in emotionally defending our learned patterns whether they are inherently reasonable or not to other people. I can only suggest to save budget funds that you see if the various licensees & businesses will agree to form a committee to deal with the common problems in this area without giving away any competitive advantages. Artificial intelligence is based on relationships & we run on patterns learned from parents, school & life experiences since we're a pattern-based herd species. This means we're more interested in emotionally defending our learned patterns compared with finding any relationship to something else including people.
