Change signals dismantling of SGI: Saskatchewan NDP

Removing collision insurance from your licence plates not under consideration, says minister

The Saskatchewan government is now allowing insurance agencies other than SGI to sell car licences, raising an alarm for the opposition NDP who see this as a move to dismantle the Crown corporation.

The change to allow other insurance agencies to sell car licences was made a few days ago. Now, NDP House leader Kevin Yates says his party expects more change.

“We're also aware that the Sask. Party government is under active consideration and planning to after the 2011 election remove collision insurance from your licence plates,” said Yates.

But the Minister of SGI, Tim McMillan, is throwing the brakes on that claim.

“That's a conversation that I've never had with any of the SGI officials (and) none of the political officials,” said McMillan.

He says he's confident SGI will remain a strong and dominant player for a long time.
