Summary of Proposal:
ServiceOntario is exploring an opportunity to expand its Service Guarantee program to include select vehicle services conducted online. Implementation may require consequential amendments to Regulation 628 of the Highway Traffic Act to ensure applicants do not qualify for two separate payments resulting from a single transaction. The proposed amendment would ensure that applicants who qualify for compensation due to a failed Service Guarantee are no longer eligible for other types of refunds.
