The Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel has announced on-line meetings as part of its review of the Saskatchewan Auto Fund’s application to adjust its rate.

Panel chair Al Johnston said the panel encourages public participation in all its reviews and urged people to participate in the Auto Fund review.
“It is important to us that people have access to the information, ask questions and can express their opinions regarding the auto fund application. It is important to us to hear this input as we consider the application and make our recommendations,” said Johnston.
