BC NDP Leader David Eby announced a campaign promise to freeze basic car insurance rates through the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) for three years if re-elected. The policy announcement comes amid political sparring over the future of ICBC's no-fault Enhanced Care model, which was introduced by the BC NDP in 2021. Meanwhile, the BC Conservatives proposed a hybrid insurance model to restore legal rights for accident victims alongside a separate tax cut promising residents no income tax on their first $32,000 in earnings.
