FSRA's new Fraud Reporting Service Rule approved by the Minister of Finance Français
The Rule, which has now been approved by the Minister of Finance, applies to all automobile insurers in Ontario and will come into effect when the government proclaims the related changes to the Insurance Act into force. FSRA will work with the industry and the Ontario government to ensure auto insurers clearly understand the new expectations and are able to effectively implement the changes before the Rule and Guidance take effect.
"This is an important step toward more effectively tracking and identifying auto insurance fraud" said Glen Padassery, Executive Vice President of Policy and Auto Insurance, FSRA. "Fraud drives up costs for drivers. By improving how fraud is tracked and reported, we're helping build accountability across the system to better protect consumers."
Once effective, the FRS Rule will require auto insurers to provide specific auto insurance fraud information to FSRA. These insights will help to:
Better determine the amount of auto insurance fraud in the province
Identify and address fraud trends
Establish a baseline to be able to track and reduce the amount of fraud in the future
By identifying and addressing fraud, auto insurance rates could be reduced.
FSRA continues to work on behalf of all stakeholders, including consumers, to ensure financial safety, fairness, and choice for everyone. Learn more at www.fsrao.ca.

Sheraton Vancouver Guildford workers prepare to strike
SURREY, BC, July 5, 2025 /CNW/ - Unifor Local 3000 members at the Sheraton Vancouver Guildford Hotel are preparing for strike action later today. "The employer has left us with no other choice," said Unifor Western Regional Director Gavin McGarrigle. "Our members are the heart of the hotel, and after more than a year without a fair agreement, they are prepared to strike to demand respect and fair wages." Unifor Local 3000 members voted to reject a tentative agreement with the company. The union will be in a legal strike position as of 12:45 p.m. Pacific on July 5, 2025. The bargaining unit includes 120 full-time and 24 part-time workers, who have been without a contract since April 2024. The Sheraton Vancouver Guildford is owned and operated by Pacific Reach Properties, a Vancouver-based investment firm with diverse holdings across real estate, hospitality, healthcare, and tech sectors. The company has sub-contracted human resources and collective bargaining responsibilities to Hospitality Industrial Relations (HIR), a Vancouver-based multi-employer group that negotiates on behalf of various hotel and tourism operators in British Columbia. "Wages at the Sheraton have failed to keep up with the rising cost of living in the Lower Mainland," said Adrian Burnett, President of Unifor Local 3000. "Our members are struggling to make ends meet while working for a hotel owned by a company with deep pockets. It's unacceptable." Unifor members voted overwhelmingly in favour of strike action if necessary, sending a strong message to the employer that a fair deal must be secured. The union remains committed to negotiating an agreement at the table but is prepared to take strike action should an agreement not be reached. Unifor is Canada's largest union in the private sector, representing 320,000 workers in every major area of the economy. The union advocates for all working people and their rights, fights for equality and social justice in Canada and abroad, and strives to create progressive change for a better future.
