Petition updateSay NO to ICBC injury compensation caps!BC Psychological Association Against NDP ICBC Bill 20
Car Accident Survivors and Supporters for Fair Auto Insurance in BC
May 4, 2018
The BC Psychological Association is opposed to the NDP ICBC Bill 20 that the NDP is now trying to rush through the Legislative Assembly so the public does not have the time to properly consider the contents.
We agree with the BC Psychologists that Bill 20 unfairly picks on the mentally ill and stigmatizes those with "psychiatric or psychological conditions" such as PTSD, depression, anxiety.
The "minor injury" definition in NDP Bill 20 including "psychiatric or psychological conditions" is far harsher than the Alberta, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick caps legislation. In those jurisdictions, capped "minor injuries" are things like scrapes and mild neck pain. However, in NDP BC, many serious injuries will be considered "minor injuries"

Please tell your politicians to stop playing doctor and "Kill the Bill". And come out to the RoadBC Protest occurring on Saturday, May 5 1:00 p.m. at the Bell Centre in Surrey at 64th Ave. and 144th St. Thank you!
