Statistical Information


The participating insurance regulators across Canada have the authority under their respective insurance legislation to collect statistics from licensed insurers. Statistics are collected in a standardized format as identified in the Statistical Plan manuals and reporting templates as approved by regulators.

There are two mandatory statistical plans, as well as financial information collected by GISA:

  • Automobile Statistical Plan - insurers operating in Alberta, Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland & Labrador, Yukon, Nunavut and the Northwest Territories must report statistics for automobile insurance under this statistical plan.
  • Financial Information - insurers operating in Alberta, Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland & Labrador, Yukon, Nunavut and the Northwest Territories must report financial information for automobile insurance under this reporting requirement.

Automobile experience data is collected to provide premium and claim information, which is used to develop and support fair automobile insurance rates. The statistical and financial data collected support the following public policy objectives:

  • Monitoring the adequacy of rates to ensure that they are not excessive or unfairly discriminatory;
  • Monitoring the adequacy of market structure and performance, and taking steps, if necessary, to restore competition or remedy the problems caused by market instability; and
  • Ensuring informed pricing decisions based on aggregate industry experience.

Automobile insurance experience is published in a series of exhibits and reports which are compiled from data that has been collected from all licensed automobile insurers by GISA and contains experience for all participating jurisdictions.

The Ontario Commercial Liability Statistical Plan was retired as of January 2023, but all published exhibits continue to be available.
